I tried Minio too but the performance is so poor. I just have HDD, and Seaweedfs x10 performance vs Minio in my case.

I have questions:

Garage is so new, your fund was ended, how about future next 10 years?
Could Garage store billions of small files like images? and serve our users with high traffic?

I think you should migrate completely to Github. I never used or see any popular software that is not on GitHub.

I am using Seaweedfs but it seems too hard to manage for me. For example: I got the bug replication is missing when a server is down and we have to fix it manually, in my case it is not possible. And the owner never answers my question. I tried Minio too but the performance is so poor. I just have HDD, and Seaweedfs x10 performance vs Minio in my case. I have questions: - Garage is so new, your fund was ended, how about future next 10 years? - Could Garage store billions of small files like images? and serve our users with high traffic?

Is Garage production already?

Garage hasn't had a v1 release, so it's not considered to be "stable" and will of course have changes until a more "generally available" "production" release is made.

I've been using Garage for the past few months and I'm more than happy with the capabilities it provides me and is a core production workload I run for myself and a bunch of other users.

Garage is so new, your fund was ended, how about future next 10 years?

This is just a completely open-ended question - where do you see yourself in five or ten years time? Rust, the language Garage is written in, barely even existed ten years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_(programming_language)

If Garage or another storage solution is that important to you; consider making a donation to the team maintaining it if you can.

Could Garage store billions of small files like images? and serve our users with high traffic?

The blog post at https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/blog/2022-perf/ has benchmarks for "storing 1M+ files".

As for your users - noone can give you an answer for that. You have to do what you should be doing with any new software deployment: read the docs, create a proof-of-concept deployment, become familiar with the solution, and then benchmark your workloads and re-evaluate if it fits your use-case from there. If you find issues, then report those to the upstream development team.

I think you should migrate completely to Github.

Please read the team's blog, and you might understand better their stance to "self-hosting" your own solutions as opposed to just using monopolies for everything:

You've never used Linux? It's a little piece of software created by the guy who also made Git: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/

Thanks for answering me and explaining to me.

(I didn't receive an email when you replied to me.)

I think Linux is different because anyone who learns programming would know it, but it is different from Garage. If you host Garage on GitHub, it'll get more popular, and many people will try to use the software and support you.

And I am getting problems when interacting with the git self-host too.
