-We discuss the different bottlenecks and limitations of the software stack in its current state.*
-
-<!-- more -->
-
----
-
-
-<!--Garage has been designed to be operated inside the same "administrative area", ie. operated by a single organization made of members that fully trust each other.
-It is an intended design decision: trusting each other enables Garage to spread data over the machines instead of duplicating it.
-Still, you might want to share and collaborate with the rest of the world, and it can be done in 2 ways with Garage: through the integrated HTTP server that can serve your bucket as a static website,
-or by connecting it to an application that will act as a "proxy" between Garage and the rest of the world.
-We refer as proxy software that knows how to speak federated protocols (eg. Activity Pub, Solid, RemoteStorage, etc.) or distributed/p2p protocols (eg. BitTorrent, IPFS, etc.).-->
-
-## Some context
-
-People often struggle to see the difference between IPFS and Garage, so let's start by making clear that these projects are complementary and not interchangeable.
-
-Personally, I see IPFS as the intersection between BitTorrent and a file system. BitTorrent remains to this day one of the most efficient ways to deliver
-a copy of a file or a folder to a very large number of destinations. It however lacks some form of interactivity: once a torrent file has been generated, you can't simply
-add or remove files from it. By presenting itself more like a file system, IPFS is able to handle this use case out of the box.
-
-<!--IPFS is a content-addressable network built in a peer-to-peer fashion.
-In simple words, it means that you query the content you want with its identifier without having to know *where* it is hosted on the network, and especially on which machine.
-As a side effect, you can share content over the Internet without any configuration (no firewall, NAT, fixed IP, DNS, etc.).-->
-
-<!--However, IPFS does not enforce any property on the durability and availability of your data: the collaboration mentioned earlier is
-done only on a spontaneous approach. So at first, if you want to be sure that your content remains alive, you must keep it on your node.
-And if nobody makes a copy of your content, you will lose it as soon as your node goes offline and/or crashes.
-Furthermore, if you need multiple nodes to store your content, IPFS is not able to automatically place content on your nodes,
-enforce a given replication amount, check the integrity of your content, and so on.-->
-
-However, you would probably not rely on BitTorrent to durably store the encrypted holiday pictures you shared with your friends,
-as content on BitTorrent tends to vanish when no one in the network has a copy of it anymore. The same applies to IPFS.
-Even if at some time everyone has a copy of the pictures on their hard disk, people might delete these copies after a while without you knowing it.
-You also can't easily collaborate on storing this common treasure. For example, there is no automatic way to say that Alice and Bob
-are in charge of storing the first half of the archive while Charlie and Eve are in charge of the second half.
-
-➡️ **IPFS is designed to deliver content.**
-
-*Note: the IPFS project has another project named [IPFS Cluster](https://cluster.ipfs.io/) that allows servers to collaborate on hosting IPFS content.
-[Resilio](https://www.resilio.com/individuals/) and [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) both feature protocols inspired by BitTorrent to synchronize a tree of your file system between multiple computers.
-Reviewing these solutions is out of the scope of this article, feel free to try them by yourself!*
-
-Garage, on the other hand, is designed to automatically spread your content over all your available nodes, in a manner that makes the best possible use of your storage space.
-At the same time, it ensures that your content is always replicated exactly 3 times across the cluster (or less if you change a configuration parameter),
-on different geographical zones when possible.
-<!--To access this content, you must have an API key, and have a correctly configured machine available over the network (including DNS/IP address/etc.). If the amount of traffic you receive is way larger than what your cluster can handle, your cluster will become simply unresponsive. Sharing content across people that do not trust each other, ie. who operate independent clusters, is not a feature of Garage: you have to rely on external software.-->
-However, this means that when content is requested from a Garage cluster, there are only 3 nodes capable of returning it to the user.
-As a consequence, when content becomes popular, this subset of nodes might become a bottleneck.
-Moreover, all resources (keys, files, buckets) are tightly coupled to the Garage cluster on which they exist;
-servers from different clusters can't collaborate to serve together the same data (without additional software).
-
-➡️ **Garage is designed to durably store content.**
-
-In this blog post, we will explore whether we can combine efficient delivery and strong durability by connecting an IPFS node to a Garage cluster.
-
-## Try #1: Vanilla IPFS over Garage
-
-<!--If you are not familiar with IPFS,  is available both as a desktop app and a [CLI app](https://docs.ipfs.io/install/command-line/), in this post we will cover the CLI app as it is often easier to understand how things are working internally.
-You can quickly follow the official [quick start guide](https://docs.ipfs.io/how-to/command-line-quick-start/#initialize-the-repository) to have an up and running node.-->
-
-IPFS is available as a pre-compiled binary, but to connect it with Garage, we need a plugin named [ipfs/go-ds-s3](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ds-s3).
-The Peergos project has a fork because it seems that the plugin is known for hitting Amazon's rate limits
-([#105](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ds-s3/issues/105), [#205](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ds-s3/pull/205)).
-This is the one we will try in the following.
-
-The easiest solution to use this plugin in IPFS is to bundle it in the main IPFS daemon, and recompile IPFS from sources.
-Following the instructions on the README file allowed me to spawn an IPFS daemon configured with S3 as the block store.
-
-I had a small issue when adding the plugin to the `plugin/loader/preload_list` file: the given command lacks a newline.
-I had to edit the file manually after running it, the issue was directly visible and easy to fix.
-
-After that, I just ran the daemon and accessed the web interface to upload a photo of my dog:
-
-![A dog](./dog.jpg)
-
-A content identifier (CID) was assigned to this picture:
-
-```
-QmNt7NSzyGkJ5K9QzyceDXd18PbLKrMAE93XuSC2487EFn
-```
-
-The photo is now accessible on the whole network.
-For example, you can inspect it [from the official gateway](https://explore.ipld.io/#/explore/QmNt7NSzyGkJ5K9QzyceDXd18PbLKrMAE93XuSC2487EFn):
-
-![A screenshot of the IPFS explorer](./explorer.png)
-
-At the same time, I was monitoring Garage (through [the OpenTelemetry stack we implemented earlier this year](/blog/2022-v0-7-released/)).
-Just after launching the daemon - and before doing anything - I was met by this surprisingly active Grafana plot:
-
-![Grafana API request rate when IPFS is idle](./idle.png) 
-<center><i>Legend: y axis = requests per 10 seconds, x axis = time</i></center><p></p>
-
-It shows that on average, we handle around 250 requests per second. Most of these requests are in fact the IPFS daemon checking if a block exists in Gargage.
-These requests are triggered by IPFS's DHT service: since my node is reachable over the Internet, it acts as a public DHT server and has to answer global
-block requests over the whole network. Each time it receives a request for a block, it sends a request to its storage back-end (in our case, to Garage) to see if a copy exists locally.
-
-*We will try to tweak the IPFS configuration later - we know that we can deactivate the DHT server. For now, we will continue with the default parameters.*
-
-When I started interacting with the IPFS node by sending a file or browsing the default proposed catalogs (i.e. the full XKCD archive),
-I quickly hit limits with our monitoring stack which, in its default configuration, is not able to ingest the large amount of tracing data produced by the high number of S3 requests originating from the IPFS daemon.
-We have the following error in Garage's logs:
-
-```
-OpenTelemetry trace error occurred. cannot send span to the batch span processor because the channel is full
-```
-
-At this point, I didn't feel that it would be very interesting to fix this issue to see what was exactly the number of requests done on the cluster.
-In my opinion, such a simple task of sharing a picture should not require so many requests to the storage server anyway.
-As a comparison, this whole webpage, with its pictures, triggers around 10 requests on Garage when loaded, not thousands.
-
-I think we can conclude that this first try was a failure.
-The S3 storage plugin for IPFS does too many requests and would need some important work to be optimized.
-However, we are aware that the people behind Peergos are known to run their software based on IPFS in production with an S3 backend,
-so we should not give up too fast.
-
-## Try #2: Peergos over Garage
-
-[Peergos](https://peergos.org/) is designed as an end-to-end encrypted and federated alternative to Nextcloud.
-Internally, it is built on IPFS and is known to have a [deep integration with the S3 API](https://peergos.org/posts/direct-s3).
-One important point of this integration is that your browser is able to bypass both the Peergos daemon and the IPFS daemon
-to write and read IPFS blocks directly from the S3 API server.
-
-*I don't know exactly if Peergos is still considered alpha quality, or if a beta version was released,
-but keep in mind that it might be more experimental than you'd like!*
-
-<!--To give ourselves some courage in this adventure, let's start with a nice screenshot of their web UI:
-
-![Peergos Web UI](./peergos.jpg)-->
-
-Starting Peergos on top of Garage required some small patches on both sides, but in the end, I was able to get it working.
-I was able to upload my file, see it in the interface, create a link to share it, rename it, move it to a folder, and so on:
-
-![A screenshot of the Peergos interface](./upload.png)
-
-At the same time, the fans of my computer started to become a bit loud!
-A quick look at Grafana showed again a very active Garage:
-
-![Screenshot of a grafana plot showing requests per second over time](./grafa.png) 
-<center><i>Legend: y axis = requests per 10 seconds on log(10) scale, x axis = time</i></center><p></p>
-
-Again, the workload is dominated by S3 `HeadObject` requests.
-After taking a look at `~/.peergos/.ipfs/config`, it seems that the IPFS configuration used by the Peergos project is quite standard,
-which means that, as before, we are acting as a DHT server and having to answer to thousands of block requests every second.
-
-We also have some traffic on the `GetObject` and `OPTIONS` endpoints (with peaks up to ~45 req/sec).
-This traffic is all generated by Peergos.
-The `OPTIONS` HTTP verb is here because we use the direct access feature of Peergos,
-meaning that our browser is talking directly to Garage and has to use CORS to validate requests for security.
-
-Internally, IPFS splits files into blocks of less than 256 kB. My picture is thus split into 2 blocks, requiring 2 requests over Garage to fetch it.
-But even knowing that IPFS splits files into small blocks, I can't explain why we have so many `GetObject` requests.
-
-## Try #3: Optimizing IPFS
-
-<!--
-Routing = dhtclient
-![](./grafa2.png)
--->
-
-We have seen in our 2 previous tries that the main source of load was the federation and in particular the DHT server.
-In this section, we'd like to artificially remove this problem from the equation by preventing our IPFS node from federating
-and see what pressure is put by Peergos alone on our local cluster.
-
-To isolate IPFS, I have set its routing type to `none`, I have cleared its bootstrap node list,
-and I configured the swarm socket to listen only on `localhost`.
-Finally, I restarted Peergos and was able to observe this more peaceful graph:
-
-![Screenshot of a grafana plot showing requests per second over time](./grafa3.png) 
-<center><i>Legend: y axis = requests per 10 seconds on log(10) scale, x axis = time</i></center><p></p>
-
-Now, for a given endpoint, we have peaks of around 10 req/sec which is way more reasonable.
-Furthermore, we are no longer hammering our back-end with requests on objects that are not there.
-
-After discussing with the developers, it is possible to go even further by running Peergos without IPFS:
-this is what they do for some of their tests. If at the same time we increased the size of data blocks,
-we might have a non-federated but quite efficient end-to-end encrypted "cloud storage" that works well over Garage,
-with our clients directly hitting the S3 API!
-
-For setups where federation is a hard requirement,
-the next step would be to gradually allow our node to connect to the IPFS network
-while ensuring that the traffic to the Garage cluster remains low.
-For example, configuring our IPFS node as a `dhtclient` instead of a `dhtserver` would exempt it from answering public DHT requests.
-Keeping an in-memory index (as a hash map and/or a Bloom filter) of the blocks stored on the current node
-could also drastically reduce the number of requests.
-It could also be interesting to explore ways to run in one process a full IPFS node with a DHT
-server on the regular file system, and reserve a second process configured with the S3 back-end to handle only our Peergos data.
-
-However, even with these optimizations, the best we can expect is the traffic we have on the previous plot.
-From a theoretical perspective, it is still higher than the optimal number of requests.
-On S3, storing a file, downloading a file, and listing available files are all actions that can be done in a single request.
-Even if all requests don't have the same cost on the cluster, processing a request has a non-negligible fixed cost.
-
-## Are S3 and IPFS incompatible?
-
-Tweaking IPFS in order to try and make it work on an S3 backend is all and good,
-but in some sense, the assumptions made by IPFS are fundamentally incompatible with using S3 as block storage.
-
-First, data on IPFS is split in relatively small chunks: all IPFS blocks must be less than 1 MB, with most being 256 KB or less.
-This means that large files or complex directory hierarchies will need thousands of blocks to be stored,
-each of which is mapped to a single object in the S3 storage back-end.
-On the other side, S3 implementations such as Garage are made to handle very large objects efficiently,
-and they also provide their own primitives for rapidly listing all the objects present in a bucket or a directory.
-There is thus a huge loss in performance when data is stored in IPFS's block format because this format does not
-take advantage of the optimizations provided by S3 back-ends in their standard usage scenarios. Instead, it
-requires storing and retrieving thousands of small S3 objects even for very simple operations such
-as retrieving a file or listing a directory, incurring a fixed overhead each time.
-
-This problem is compounded by the design of the IPFS data exchange protocol,
-in which nodes may request any data blocks to any other node in the network
-in its quest to answer a user's request (like retrieving a file, etc.).
-When a node is missing a file or a directory it wants to read, it has to do as many requests to other nodes
-as there are IPFS blocks in the object to be read.
-On the receiving end, this means that any fully-fledged IPFS node has to answer large numbers
-of requests for blocks required by users everywhere on the network, which is what we observed in our experiment above.
-We were however surprised to observe that many requests coming from the IPFS network were for blocks
-which our node didn't have a copy of: this means that somewhere in the IPFS protocol, an overly optimistic
-assumption is made on where data could be found in the network, and this ends up translating into many requests
-between nodes that return negative results.
-When IPFS blocks are stored on a local filesystem, answering these requests fast might be possible.
-However, when using an S3 server as a storage back-end, this becomes prohibitively costly.
-
-If one wanted to design a distributed storage system for IPFS data blocks, they would probably need to start at a lower level.
-Garage itself makes use of a block storage mechanism that allows small-sized blocks to be stored on a cluster and accessed
-rapidly by nodes that need to access them.
-However passing through the entire abstraction that provides an S3 API is wasteful and redundant, as this API is
-designed to provide advanced functionality such as mutating objects, associating metadata with objects, listing objects, etc.
-Plugging the IPFS daemon directly into a lower-level distributed block storage like
-Garage's might yield way better results by bypassing all of this complexity.
-
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Running IPFS over an S3 storage backend does not quite work out of the box in terms of performance.
-Having identified that the main problem is linked to the DHT service,
-we proposed some improvements (disabling the DHT server, keeping an in-memory index of the blocks, and using the S3 back-end only for user data).
-
-From an IPFS design perspective, it seems however that the numerous small blocks handled by the protocol
-do not map trivially to efficient use of the S3 API, and thus could be a limiting factor to any optimization work.
-
-As part of my testing journey, I also stumbled upon some posts about performance issues on IPFS (eg. [#6283](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/6283))
-that are not linked with the S3 connector. I might be negatively influenced by my failure to connect IPFS with S3,
-but at this point, I'm tempted to think that IPFS is intrinsically resource-intensive from a block activity perspective.
-
-On our side at Deuxfleurs, we will continue our investigations towards more *minimalistic* software.
-This choice makes sense for us as we want to reduce the ecological impact of our services
-by deploying fewer servers, that use less energy, and are renewed less frequently.
-
-After discussing with Peergos maintainers, we identified that it is possible to run Peergos without IPFS.
-With some optimizations on the block size, we envision great synergies between Garage and Peergos that could lead to
-an efficient and lightweight end-to-end encrypted "cloud storage" platform.
-*If you happen to be working on this, please inform us!*
-
-
-*We are also aware of the existence of many other software projects for file sharing
-such as Nextcloud, Owncloud, Owncloud Infinite Scale, Seafile, Filestash, Pydio, SOLID, Remote Storage, etc.
-Many of these could be connected to an S3 back-end such as Garage.
-We might even try some of them in future blog posts, so stay tuned!*

-not try to optimize its configuration as we have done for Garage, and more
-generally, we have significantly less knowledge of Minio's internals compared to Garage, which could lead
-to underrated performance measurements for Minio. It must also be noted that
-Garage and Minio are systems with different feature sets. For instance, Minio supports
-erasure coding for higher data density and Garage doesn't, Minio implements
-way more S3 endpoints than Garage, etc. Such features necessarily have a cost
-that you must keep in mind when reading the plots we will present. You should consider
-Minio's results as a way to contextualize Garage's numbers, to justify that our improvements
-are not simply artificial in the light of existing object storage implementations.
-
-The impact of the testing environment is also not evaluated (kernel patches,
-configuration, parameters, filesystem, hardware configuration, etc.). Some of
-these parameters could favor one configuration or software product over another.
-Especially, it must be noted that most of the tests were done on a
-consumer-grade PC with only a SSD, which is different from most
-production setups. Finally, our results are also provided without statistical
-tests to validate their significance, and might have insufficient ground
-to be claimed as reliable.
-
-When reading this post, please keep in mind that **we are not making any
-business or technical recommendations here, and this is not a scientific paper
-either**; we only share bits of our development process as honestly as
-possible.

-
-## About our testing environment
-
-We made a first batch of tests on
-[Grid5000](https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Grid5000:Home), a large-scale and flexible
-testbed for experiment-driven research in all areas of computer science,
-which has an
-[open access program](https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Grid5000:Open-Access).
-During our tests, we used part of the following clusters:
-[nova](https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Lyon:Hardware#nova),
-[paravance](https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Rennes:Hardware#paravance), and
-[econome](https://www.grid5000.fr/w/Nantes:Hardware#econome), to make a
-geo-distributed topology. We used the Grid5000 testbed only during our
-preliminary tests to identify issues when running Garage on many powerful
-servers. We then  reproduced these issues in a controlled environment
-outside of Grid5000, so don't be
-surprised then if Grid5000 is not always mentioned on our plots.
-
-To reproduce some environments locally, we have a small set of Python scripts
-called [`mknet`](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/mknet) tailored to our
-needs[^ref1]. Most of the following tests were run locally with `mknet` on a
-single computer: a Dell Inspiron 27" 7775 AIO, with a Ryzen 5 1400, 16GB of
-RAM and a 512GB SSD. In terms of software, NixOS 22.05 with the 5.15.50 kernel is
-used with an ext4 encrypted filesystem. The `vm.dirty_background_ratio` and
-`vm.dirty_ratio` have been reduced to `2` and `1` respectively: with default
-values, the system tends to freeze under heavy I/O load.
-
-## Efficient I/O
-
-The main purpose of an object storage system is to store and retrieve objects
-across the network, and the faster these two functions can be accomplished,
-the more efficient the system as a whole will be. For this analysis, we focus on
-2 aspects of performance. First, since many applications can start processing a file
-before receiving it completely, we will evaluate the time-to-first-byte (TTFB)
-on `GetObject` requests, i.e. the duration between the moment a request is sent
-and the moment where the first bytes of the returned object are received by the client.
-Second, we will evaluate generic throughput, to understand how well
-Garage can leverage the underlying machine's performance.
-
-**Time-to-First-Byte** - One specificity of Garage is that we implemented S3
-web endpoints, with the idea to make it a platform of choice to publish
-static websites. When publishing a website, TTFB can be directly observed
-by the end user, as it will impact the perceived reactivity of the page being loaded.
-
-Up to version 0.7.3, time-to-first-byte on Garage used to be relatively high.
-This can be explained by the fact that Garage was not able to handle data internally
-at a smaller granularity level than entire data blocks, which are up to 1MB chunks of a given object
-(a size which [can be configured](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/configuration/#block-size)).
-Let us take the example of a 4.5MB object, which Garage will split by default into four 1MB blocks and one 0.5MB block.
-With the old design, when you were sending a `GET`
-request, the first block had to be _fully_ retrieved by the gateway node from the
-storage node before it starts to send any data to the client.
-
-With Garage v0.8, we added a data streaming logic that allows the gateway
-to send the beginning of a block without having to wait for the full block to be received from
-the storage node. We can visually represent the difference as follow:
-
-<center>
-<img src="schema-streaming.png" alt="A schema depicting how streaming improves the delivery of a block" />
-</center>
-
-As our default block size is only 1MB, the difference should be marginal on
-fast networks: it takes only 8ms to transfer 1MB on a 1Gbps network,
-adding at most 8ms of latency to a `GetObject` request (assuming no other
-data transfer is happening in parallel). However,
-on a very slow network, or a very congested link with many parallel requests
-handled, the impact can be much more important: on a 5Mbps network, it takes at least 1.6 seconds
-to transfer our 1MB block, and streaming will heavily improve user experience.
-
-We wanted to see if this theory holds in practice: we simulated a low latency
-but slow network using `mknet` and did some requests with block streaming (Garage v0.8 beta) and
-without (Garage v0.7.3). We also added Minio as a reference. To
-benchmark this behavior, we wrote a small test named
-[s3ttfb](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/mknet/src/branch/main/benchmarks/s3ttfb),
-whose results are shown on the following figure:
-
-![Plot showing the TTFB observed on Garage v0.8, v0.7 and Minio](ttfb.png)
-
-Garage v0.7, which does not support block streaming, gives us a TTFB between 1.6s
-and 2s, which matches the time required to transfer the full block which we calculated above.
-On the other side of the plot, we can see Garage v0.8 with a very low TTFB thanks to the
-streaming feature (the lowest value is 43ms). Minio sits between the two
-Garage versions: we suppose that it does some form of batching, but smaller
-than our initial 1MB default.
-
-**Throughput** - As soon as we publicly released Garage, people started
-benchmarking it, comparing its performances to writing directly on the
-filesystem, and observed that Garage was slower (eg.
-[#288](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/288)). To improve the
-situation, we did some optimizations, such as putting costly processing like hashing on a dedicated thread,
-and many others
-([#342](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/342),
-[#343](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/343)), which led us to
-version 0.8 "Beta 1". We also noticed that some of the logic we wrote
-to better control resource usage
-and detect errors, including semaphores and timeouts, was artificially limiting
-performances. In another iteration, we made this logic less restrictive at the
-cost of higher resource consumption under load
-([#387](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/387)), resulting in
-version 0.8 "Beta 2". Finally, we currently do multiple `fsync` calls each time we
-write a block. We know that this is expensive and did a test build without any
-`fsync` call ([see the
-commit](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/commit/432131f5b8c2aad113df3b295072a00756da47e7))
-that will not be merged, only to assess the impact of `fsync`. We refer to it
-as `no-fsync` in the following plot.
-
-*A note about `fsync`: for performance reasons, operating systems often do not
-write directly to the disk when a process creates or updates a file in your
-filesystem. Instead, the write is kept in memory, and flushed later in a batch
-with other writes. If a power loss occurs before the OS has time to flush
-data to disk, some writes will be lost. To ensure that a write is effectively
-written to disk, the
-[`fsync(2)`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fsync.2.html) system call must be used,
-which effectively blocks until the file or directory on which it is called has been flushed from volatile
-memory to the persistent storage device. Additionally, the exact semantic of
-`fsync` [differs from one OS to another](https://mjtsai.com/blog/2022/02/17/apple-ssd-benchmarks-and-f_fullsync/)
-and, even on battle-tested software like Postgres, it was
-["done wrong for 20 years"](https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/postgresql_fsync/).
-Note that on Garage, we are still working on our `fsync` policy and thus, for
-now, you should expect limited data durability in case of power loss, as we are
-aware of some inconsistencies on this point (which we describe in the following
-and plan to solve).*
-
-To assess performance improvements, we used the benchmark tool
-[minio/warp](https://github.com/minio/warp) in a non-standard configuration,
-adapted for small-scale tests, and we kept only the aggregated result named
-"cluster total". The goal of this experiment is to get an idea of the cluster
-performance with a standardized and mixed workload.
-
-![Plot showing IO performances of Garage configurations and Minio](io.png)
-
-Minio, our reference point, gives us the best performances in this test.
-Looking at Garage, we observe that each improvement we made had a visible
-impact on performances. We also note that we have a progress margin in
-terms of performances compared to Minio: additional benchmarks, tests, and
-monitoring could help us better understand the remaining gap.
-
-
-## A myriad of objects
-
-Object storage systems do not handle a single object but huge numbers of them:
-Amazon claims to handle trillions of objects on their platform, and Red Hat
-tout Ceph as being able to handle 10 billion objects. All these
-objects must be tracked efficiently in the system to be fetched, listed,
-removed, etc. In Garage, we use a "metadata engine" component to track them.
-For this analysis, we compare different metadata engines in Garage and see how
-well the best one scales to a million objects.
-
-**Testing metadata engines** - With Garage, we chose not to store metadata
-directly on the filesystem, like Minio for example, but in a specialized on-disk
-B-Tree data structure; in other words, in an embedded database engine. Until now,
-the only supported option was [sled](https://sled.rs/), but we started having
-serious issues with it - and we were not alone
-([#284](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/284)). With Garage
-v0.8, we introduce an abstraction semantic over the features we expect from our
-database, allowing us to switch from one metadata back-end to another without touching
-the rest of our codebase. We added two additional back-ends: LMDB
-(through [heed](https://github.com/meilisearch/heed)) and SQLite
-(using [Rusqlite](https://github.com/rusqlite/rusqlite)). **Keep in mind that they
-are both experimental: contrarily to sled, we have yet to run them in production
-for a significant time.**
-
-Similarly to the impact of `fsync` on block writing, each database engine we use
-has its own `fsync` policy. Sled flushes its writes every 2 seconds by
-default (this is
-[configurable](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/configuration/#sled-flush-every-ms)).
-LMDB default to an `fsync` on each write, which on early tests led to
-abysmal performance. We thus added 2 flags,
-[MDB\_NOSYNC](http://www.lmdb.tech/doc/group__mdb__env.html#ga5791dd1adb09123f82dd1f331209e12e)
-and
-[MDB\_NOMETASYNC](http://www.lmdb.tech/doc/group__mdb__env.html#ga5021c4e96ffe9f383f5b8ab2af8e4b16),
-to deactivate `fsync` entirely. On SQLite, it is also possible to deactivate `fsync` with
-`pragma synchronous = off`, but we have not started any optimization work on it yet:
-our SQLite implementation currently still calls `fsync` for all write operations. Additionally, we are
-using these engines through Rust bindings that do not support async Rust,
-with which Garage is built, which has an impact on performance as well.
-**Our comparison will therefore not reflect the raw performances of
-these database engines, but instead, our integration choices.**
-
-Still, we think it makes sense to evaluate our implementations in their current
-state in Garage. We designed a benchmark that is intensive on the metadata part
-of the software, i.e. handling large numbers of tiny files. We chose again
-`minio/warp` as a benchmark tool, but we
-configured it with the smallest possible object size it supported, 256
-bytes, to put pressure on the metadata engine. We evaluated sled twice:
-with its default configuration, and with a configuration where we set a flush
-interval of 10 minutes (longer than the test) to disable `fsync`.
-
-*Note that S3 has not been designed for workloads that store huge numbers of small objects;
-a regular database, like Cassandra, would be more appropriate. This test has
-only been designed to stress our metadata engine and is not indicative of
-real-world performances.*
-
-![Plot of our metadata engines comparison with Warp](db_engine.png)
-
-Unsurprisingly, we observe abysmal performances with SQLite, as it is the engine we did not put work on yet,
-and that still does an `fsync` for each write. Garage with the `fsync`-disabled LMDB backend performs twice better than
-with sled in its default version and 60% better than the "no `fsync`" sled version in our
-benchmark.  Furthermore, and not depicted on these plots, LMDB uses way less
-disk storage and RAM; we would like to quantify that in the future.  As we are
-only at the very beginning of our work on metadata engines, it is hard to draw
-strong conclusions.  Still, we can say that SQLite is not ready for production
-workloads, and that LMDB looks very promising both in terms of performances and resource
-usage, and is a very good candidate for being Garage's default metadata engine in
-future releases, once we figure out the proper `fsync` tuning. In the future, we will need to define a data policy for Garage to help us
-arbitrate between performance and durability.
-
-*To `fsync` or not to `fsync`? Performance is nothing without reliability, so we
-need to better assess the impact of possibly losing a write after it has been validated.
-Because Garage is a distributed system, even if a node loses its write due to a
-power loss, it will fetch it back from the 2 other nodes that store it. But rare
-situations can occur where 1 node is down and the 2 others validate the write and then
-lose power before having time to flush to disk. What is our policy in this case? For storage durability,
-we are already supposing that we never lose the storage of more than 2 nodes,
-so should we also make the hypothesis that we won't lose power on more than 2 nodes at the same
-time? What should we do about people hosting all of their nodes at the same
-place without an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)? Historically, it seems that Minio developers also accepted
-some compromises on this side
-([#3536](https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/3536),
-[HN Discussion](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28135533)). Now, they seem to
-use a combination of `O_DSYNC` and `fdatasync(3p)` - a derivative that ensures
-only data and not metadata is persisted on disk - in combination with
-`O_DIRECT` for direct I/O
-([discussion](https://github.com/minio/minio/discussions/14339#discussioncomment-2200274),
-[example in Minio source](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/cmd/xl-storage.go#L1928-L1932)).*
-
-**Storing a million objects** - Object storage systems are designed not only
-for data durability and availability but also for scalability, so naturally,
-some people asked us how scalable Garage is. If giving a definitive answer to this
-question is out of the scope of this study, we wanted to be sure that our
-metadata engine would be able to scale to a million objects. To put this
-target in context, it remains small compared to other industrial solutions:
-Ceph claims to scale up to [10 billion objects](https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/data-solutions-overview),
-which is 4 orders of magnitude more than our current target. Of course, their
-benchmarking setup has nothing in common with ours, and their tests are way
-more exhaustive.
-
-We wrote our own benchmarking tool for this test,
-[s3billion](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/mknet/src/branch/main/benchmarks/s3billion)[^ref2].
-The benchmark procedure consists in 
-concurrently sending a defined number of tiny objects (8192 objects of 16
-bytes by default) and measuring the wall clock time to the last object upload. This step is then repeated a given
-number of times (128 by default) to effectively create a target number of
-objects on the cluster (1M by default). On our local setup with 3
-nodes, both Minio and Garage with LMDB were able to achieve this target. In the
-following plot, we show how much time it took Garage and Minio to handle
-each batch.
-
-Before looking at the plot, **you must keep in mind some important points regarding
-the internals of both Minio and Garage**.
-
-Minio has no metadata engine, it stores its objects directly on the filesystem.
-Sending 1 million objects on Minio results in creating one million inodes on
-the storage server in our current setup. So the performances of the filesystem
-probably have a substantial impact on the observed results.
-In our precise setup, we know that the
-filesystem we used is not adapted at all for Minio (encryption layer, fixed
-number of inodes, etc.). Additionally, we mentioned earlier that we deactivated
-`fsync` for our metadata engine in Garage, whereas Minio has some `fsync` logic here slowing down the
-creation of objects. Finally, object storage is designed for big objects, for which the
-costs measured here are negligible. In the end, again, we use Minio only as a
-reference point to understand what performance budget we have for each part of our
-software.
-
-Conversely, Garage has an optimization for small objects. Below 3KB, a separate file is
-not created on the filesystem but the object is directly stored inline in the
-metadata engine.  In the future, we plan to evaluate how Garage behaves at scale with
-objects above 3KB, which we expect to be way closer to Minio, as it will have to create
-at least one inode per object. For now, we limit ourselves to evaluating our
-metadata engine and focus only on 16-byte objects.
-
-![Showing the time to send 128 batches of 8192 objects for Minio and Garage](1million-both.png)
-
-It appears that the performances of our metadata engine are acceptable, as we
-have a comfortable margin compared to Minio (Minio is between 3x and 4x times
-slower per batch).  We also note that, past the 200k objects mark, Minio's
-time to complete a batch of inserts is constant, while on Garage it still increases on the observed range.
-It could be interesting to know if Garage's batch completion time would cross Minio's one
-for a very large number of objects.  If we reason per object, both Minio's and
-Garage's performances remain very good: it takes respectively around 20ms and
-5ms to create an object.  In a real-world scenario, at 100 Mbps, the upload of a 10MB file takes
-800ms, and goes up to 8sec for a 100MB file: in both cases
-handling the object metadata would be only a fraction of the upload time.  The
-only cases where a difference would be noticeable would be when uploading a lot of very
-small files at once, which again would be an unusual usage of the S3 API.
-
-Let us now focus on Garage's metrics only to better see its specific behavior:
-
-![Showing the time to send 128 batches of 8192 objects for Garage only](1million.png)
-
-Two effects are now more visible: 1., batch completion time increases with the
-number of objects in the bucket and 2., measurements are scattered, at least
-more than for Minio. We expected this batch completion time increase to be logarithmic,
-but we don't have enough data points to conclude confidently it is the case: additional
-measurements are needed. Concerning the observed instability, it could
-be a symptom of what we saw with some other experiments on this setup,
-which sometimes freezes under heavy I/O load.  Such freezes could lead to
-request timeouts and failures. If this occurs on our testing computer, it might
-occur on other servers as well: it would be interesting to better understand this
-issue, document how to avoid it, and potentially change how we handle I/O
-internally in Garage.  But still, this was a very heavy test that will probably not be encountered in
-many setups: we were adding 273 objects per second for 30 minutes straight!
-
-To conclude this part, Garage can ingest 1 million tiny objects while remaining
-usable on our local setup. To put this result in perspective, our production
-cluster at [deuxfleurs.fr](https://deuxfleurs) smoothly manages a bucket with
-116k objects. This bucket contains real-world production data: it is used by our Matrix instance
-to store people's media files (profile pictures, shared pictures, videos,
-audio files, documents...). Thanks to this benchmark, we have identified two points
-of vigilance: the increase of batch insert time with the number of existing
-objects in the cluster in the observed range, and the volatility in our measured data that
-could be a symptom of our system freezing under the load. Despite these two
-points, we are confident that Garage could scale way above 1M objects, although
-that remains to be proven.
-
-## In an unpredictable world, stay resilient
-
-Supporting a variety of real-world networks and computers, especially ones that
-were not designed for software-defined storage or even for server purposes, is the
-core value proposition of Garage.  For example, our production cluster is
-hosted [on refurbished Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny desktop computers](https://guide.deuxfleurs.fr/img/serv_neptune.jpg)
-behind consumer-grade fiber links across France and Belgium (if you are reading this,
-congratulation, you fetched this webpage from it!). That's why we are very
-careful that our internal protocol (referred to as "RPC protocol" in our documentation)
-remains as lightweight as possible. For this analysis, we quantify how network
-latency and number of nodes in the cluster impact the duration of the most
-important kinds of S3 requests.
-
-**Latency amplification** - With the kind of networks we use (consumer-grade
-fiber links across the EU), the observed latency between nodes is in the 50ms range.
-When latency is not negligible, you will observe that request completion
-time is a factor of the observed latency. That's to be expected: in many cases, the
-node of the cluster you are contacting cannot directly answer your request, and
-has to reach other nodes of the cluster to get the data. Each
-of these sequential remote procedure calls - or RPCs - adds to the final S3 request duration, which can quickly become
-expensive.  This ratio between request duration and network latency is what we
-refer to as *latency amplification*.
-
-For example, on Garage, a `GetObject` request does two sequential calls: first,
-it fetches the descriptor of the requested object from the metadata engine, which contains a reference
-to the first block of data, and then only in a second step it can start retrieving data blocks
-from storage nodes.  We can therefore expect that the
-request duration of a small `GetObject` request will be close to twice the
-network latency.
-
-We tested the latency amplification theory with another benchmark of our own named
-[s3lat](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/mknet/src/branch/main/benchmarks/s3lat)
-which does a single request at a time on an endpoint and measures the response
-time. As we are not interested in bandwidth but latency, all our requests
-involving objects are made on tiny files of around 16 bytes. Our benchmark
-tests 5 standard endpoints of the S3 API: ListBuckets, ListObjects, PutObject, GetObject and
-RemoveObject. Here are the results:
-
-
-![Latency amplification](amplification.png)
-
-As Garage has been optimized for this use case from the very beginning, we don't see
-any significant evolution from one version to another (Garage v0.7.3 and Garage
-v0.8.0 Beta 1 here).  Compared to Minio, these values are either similar (for
-ListObjects and ListBuckets) or significantly better (for GetObject, PutObject, and
-RemoveObject).  This can be easily explained by the fact that Minio has not been designed with
-environments with high latencies in mind. Instead, it is expected to run on clusters that are built
-in a singe data center. In a multi-DC setup, different clusters could then possibly be interconnected with their asynchronous
-[bucket replication](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/administration/bucket-replication.html?ref=docs-redirect)
-feature.
-
-*Minio also has a [multi-site active-active replication system](https://blog.min.io/minio-multi-site-active-active-replication/)
-but it is even more sensitive to latency: "Multi-site replication has increased
-latency sensitivity, as Minio does not consider an object as replicated until
-it has synchronized to all configured remote targets. Replication latency is
-therefore dictated by the slowest link in the replication mesh."*
-
-
-**A cluster with many nodes** - Whether you already have many compute nodes
-with unused storage, need to store a lot of data, or are experimenting with unusual
-system architectures, you might be interested in deploying over a hundred Garage nodes.
-However, in some distributed systems, the number of nodes in the cluster will
-have an impact on performance. Theoretically, our protocol, which is inspired by distributed
-hash tables (DHT), should scale fairly well, but until now, we never took the time to test it
-with a hundred nodes or more.
-
-This test was run directly on Grid5000 with 6 physical servers spread
-in 3 locations in France: Lyon, Rennes, and Nantes. On each server, we ran up
-to 65 instances of Garage simultaneously, for a total of 390 nodes. The
-network between physical servers is the dedicated network provided by
-the Grid5000 community. Nodes on the same physical machine communicate directly
-through the Linux network stack without any limitation. We are aware that this is a
-weakness of this test, but we still think that this test can be relevant as, at
-each step in the test, each instance of Garage has 83% (5/6) of its connections
-that are made over a real network. To measure performances for each cluster size, we used
-[s3lat](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/mknet/src/branch/main/benchmarks/s3lat)
-again:
-
-
-![Impact of response time with bigger clusters](complexity.png)
-
-Up to 250 nodes, we observed response times that remain constant. After this threshold,
-results become very noisy.  By looking at the server resource usage, we saw
-that their load started to become non-negligible: it seems that we are not
-hitting a limit on the protocol side, but have simply exhausted the resource
-of our testing nodes. In the future, we would like to run this experiment
-again, but on many more physical nodes, to confirm our hypothesis.  For now, we
-are confident that a Garage cluster with 100+ nodes should work.
-
-
-## Conclusion and Future work
-
-During this work, we identified some sensitive points on Garage,
-on which we will have to continue working: our data durability target and interaction with the
-filesystem (`O_DSYNC`, `fsync`, `O_DIRECT`, etc.) is not yet homogeneous across
-our components; our new metadata engines (LMDB, SQLite) still need some testing
-and tuning; and we know that raw I/O performances (GetObject and PutObject for large objects) have a small
-improvement margin.
-
-At the same time, Garage has never been in better shape: its next version (version 0.8) will
-see drastic improvements in terms of performance and reliability.  We are
-confident that Garage is already able to cover a wide range of deployment needs, up
-to over a hundred nodes and millions of objects.
-
-In the future, on the performance aspect, we would like to evaluate the impact
-of introducing an SRPT scheduler
-([#361](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/361)), define a data
-durability policy and implement it, make a deeper and larger review of the
-state of the art (Minio, Ceph, Swift, OpenIO, Riak CS, SeaweedFS, etc.) to
-learn from them and, lastly, benchmark Garage at scale with possibly multiple
-terabytes of data and billions of objects on long-lasting experiments.
-
-In the meantime, stay tuned: we have released
-[a first release candidate for Garage v0.8](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/releases/tag/v0.8.0-rc1),
-and are already working on several features for the next version.
-For instance, we are working on a new layout that will have enhanced optimality properties,
-as well as a theoretical proof of correctness
-([#296](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/296)). We are also
-working on a Python SDK for Garage's administration API
-([#379](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/379)), and we will
-soon officially introduce a new API (as a technical preview) named K2V
-([see K2V on our doc for a primer](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manual/k2v/)).

-## Notes
-
-[^ref1]: Yes, we are aware of [Jepsen](https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen)'s
-existence. Jepsen is far more complex than our set of scripts, but
-it is also way more versatile.
-
-[^ref2]: The program name contains the word "billion", although we only tested Garage
-up to 1 million objects: this is not a typo, we were just a little bit too
-enthusiastic when we wrote it ;)

-title="Garage v0.7: Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry"
-date=2022-04-04
-+++
-
-*We just published Garage v0.7, our second public beta release. In this post, we do a quick tour of its 2 new features: Kubernetes integration and OpenTelemetry support.*
-
-<!-- more -->
-
----
-
-Two months ago, we were impressed by the success of our open beta launch at FOSDEM and on Hacker News: [our initial post](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/blog/2022-introducing-garage/) lead to more than 40k views in 10 days, peaking at 100 views/minute, and all requests were served by Garage, without even using a caching frontend!
-Since this event, we continued to improve Garage, and — 2 months after the initial release — we are happy to announce version 0.7.0.
-
-But first, we would like to thank the contributors that made this new release possible: Alex, Jill, Max Audron, Maximilien, Quentin, Rune Henrisken, Steam, and trinity-1686a.
-This is also our first time welcoming contributors external to the core team, and as we wish for Garage to be a community-driven project, we encourage it!
-
-You can get this release using our binaries or the package provided by your distribution.
-We ship [statically compiled binaries](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/download/) for most common Linux architectures (amd64, i386, aarch64 and armv6) and associated [Docker containers](https://hub.docker.com/u/dxflrs).
-Garage now is also packaged by third parties on some OS/distributions. We are currently aware of [FreeBSD](https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/www/garage/Makefile) and [AUR for Arch Linux](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/garage).
-Feel free to [reach out to us](mailto:garagehq@deuxfleurs.fr) if you are packaging (or planning to package) Garage; we welcome maintainers and will upstream specific patches if that can help. If you already did package Garage, please inform us and we'll add it to the documentation.
-
-Speaking about the changes of this new version, it obviously includes many bug fixes. 
-We listed them in our [changelogs](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/releases), so take a look, we might have fixed some issues you were having!
-Besides bug fixes, there are two new major features in this release: better integration with Kubernetes, and support for observability via OpenTelemetry.
-
-## Kubernetes integration
-
-Before Garage v0.7.0, you had to deploy a Consul cluster or spawn a "coordinating" pod to deploy Garage on [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) (K8S).
-In this new version, Garage integrates a method to discover other peers by using Kubernetes [Custom Resources](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/) (CR) to simplify cluster discovery. 
-
-CR discovery can be quickly enabled in Garage, by configuring the name of the desired service (`kubernetes_namespace`) and which namespace to look for (`kubernetes_service_name`) in your Garage configuration file:
-
-```toml
-kubernetes_namespace = "default"
-kubernetes_service_name = "garage-daemon"
-```
-
-Custom Resources must be defined *a priori* with [Custom Resource Definition](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubernetes/custom-resources/custom-resource-definitions/) (CRD).
-If the CRD does not exist, Garage will create it for you. Automatic CRD creation is enabled by default, but it requires giving additional permissions to Garage to work.
-If you prefer strictly controlling access to your K8S cluster, you can create the resource manually and prevent Garage from automatically creating it:
-
-```toml
-kubernetes_skip_crd = true
-```
-
-If you want to try Garage on K8S, we currently only provide some basic [example files](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/src/commit/7e1ac51b580afa8e900206e7cc49791ed0a00d94/script/k8s). These files register a [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/), a [ClusterRoleBinding](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#rolebinding-and-clusterrolebinding), and a [StatefulSet](https://kubernetes.io/fr/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/statefulset/) with a [Persistent Volumes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/). 
-
-Once these files are deployed, you will be able to interact with Garage as follow:
-
-```bash
-kubectl exec -it garage-0 --container garage -- /garage status
-# ==== HEALTHY NODES ====
-# ID      Hostname  Address          Tags              Zone  Capacity
-# e628..  garage-0  172.17.0.5:3901  NO ROLE ASSIGNED
-# 570f..  garage-2  172.17.0.7:3901  NO ROLE ASSIGNED
-# e199..  garage-1  172.17.0.6:3901  NO ROLE ASSIGNED
-```
-
-You can then follow the [regular documentation](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/cookbook/real-world/#creating-a-cluster-layout) to complete the configuration of your cluster.
-
-If you target a production deployment, you should avoid binding admin rights to your cluster to create Garage's CRD. You will also need to expose some [Services](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/) to make your cluster reachable. Keep also in mind that Garage is a stateful service, so you must be very careful of how you handle your data in Kubernetes in order not to lose it. In the near future, we plan to release a proper Helm chart and write "best practices" in our documentation.
-
-If Kubernetes is not your thing, know that we are running Garage on a Nomad+Consul cluster, which is also well supported.
-We have not documented it yet but you can get a look at [our Nomad service](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/infrastructure/src/commit/1e5e4af35c073d04698bb10dd4ad1330d6c62a0d/app/garage/deploy/garage.hcl).
-
-## OpenTelemetry support
-
-[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) standardizes how software generates and collects system telemetry information, namely metrics, logs, and traces.
-By implementing this standard in Garage, we hope that it will help you to better monitor, manage and tune your cluster.
-Note that to fully leverage this feature, you must be already familiar with monitoring stacks like [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/)+[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) or [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/)+[Kibana](https://www.elastic.co/kibana/).
-
-To activate OpenTelemetry on Garage, you must add to your configuration file the following entries (supposing that your collector is also on localhost):
-
-```toml
-[admin]
-api_bind_addr = "127.0.0.1:3903"
-trace_sink = "http://localhost:4317"
-```
-
-The first line, `api_bind_address`, instructs Garage to expose an HTTP endpoint from which metrics can be obtained in Prometheus' data format.
-The second line, `trace_sink`, instructs Garage to export tracing information to an OpenTelemetry collector at the given address.
-These two options work independently and you can use them separately, depending on if you are interested only in metrics, traces, or both.
-
-We provide [some files](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/src/branch/main/script/telemetry) to help you quickly bootstrap a testing monitoring stack.
-It includes a docker-compose file and a pre-configured Grafana dashboard.
-You can use them if you want to reproduce the following examples.
-
-Grafana is particularly adapted to understand how your cluster is performing from a "bird's eye view".
-For example, the following graph shows S3 API calls sent to your node per time unit.
-You can use it to better understand how your users are interacting with your cluster.
-
-![A screenshot of a plot made by Grafana depicting the number of requests per time units grouped by endpoints](api_rate.png)
-
-Thanks to this graph, we know that starting at 14:55, an important upload has been started.
-This upload is made of many small files, as we see many PutObject calls that are often used for small files.
-It also has some large objects, as we observe some multipart uploads requests.
-Conversely, at this time, no reads are done as the corresponding read endpoints (ListBuckets, ListObjectsV2, etc.) receive 0 request per time unit.
-
-
-Garage also collects metrics from lower-level parts of the system.
-You can use them to better understand how Garage is interacting with your OS and your hardware.
-
-![A screenshot of a plot made by Grafana depicting the write speed (in MB/s) during test time.](writes.png)
-
-This plot has been captured at the same moment as the previous one.
-We do not see a correlation between the writes and the API requests for the full upload but only for its beginning.
-More precisely, it maps well to multipart upload requests, and this is expected. 
-Large files (of the multipart uploads) will saturate the writes of your disk but the uploading of small files (via the PutObject endpoint) will be limited by other parts of the system.
-
-This simple example covers only 2 metrics over the 20+ ones that we already defined, but it still allowed us to precisely describe our cluster usage and identify where bottlenecks could be.
-We are confident that cleverly using these metrics on a production cluster will give you many more valuable insights into your cluster.
-
-While metrics are good for having a large, general overview of your system, they are however not adapted for digging and pinpointing a specific performance issue on a specific code path.
-Thankfully, we also have a solution for this problem: tracing.
-
-Using [Application Performance Monitoring](https://www.elastic.co/observability/application-performance-monitoring) (APM) in conjunction with Kibana,
-we can get for instance the following visualization of what happens during a PutObject call (click to enlarge):
-
-[![A screenshot of APM depicting the trace of a PutObject call](apm.png)](apm.png)
-
-On the top of the screenshot, we see the latency distribution of all PutObject requests.
-We learn that the selected request took ~1ms to execute, while 95% of all requests took less than 80ms to run.
-Having some dispersion between requests is expected as Garage does not run on a strong real-time system, but in this case, you must also consider that
-a request duration is impacted by the size of the object that is sent (a 10B object will be quicker to process than a 10MB one).
-Consequently, this request probably corresponds to a very small file.
-
-Below this first histogram, you can select the request you want to inspect, and then see its trace on the bottom part.
-The trace shown above can be broken down in 4 parts: fetching the API key to check authentication (`key get`), fetching the bucket identifier from its name (`bucket_alias get`), fetching the bucket configuration to check authorizations (`bucket_v2 get`), and finally inserting the object in the storage (`object insert`).
-
-With this example, we demonstrated that we can inspect Garage internals to find slow requests, then see which codepath has been taken by a request, and finally identify which part of the code took time.
-
-Keep in mind that this is our first iteration on telemetry for Garage, so things are a bit rough around the edges (step-by-step documentation is missing, our Grafana dashboard is a work in progress, etc.).
-In all cases, your feedback is welcome on our Matrix channel.
-
-
-## Conclusion
-
-This is only the first iteration of the Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry integrations in Garage, so things are still a bit rough.
-We plan to polish their integration in the coming months based on our experience and your feedback.
-
-You may also ask yourself what will be the other works we plan to conduct: stay tuned, we will soon release information on our roadmap!
-In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy using Garage v0.7.

-title='Thoughts on "Leaderless Consensus"'
-date=2023-11-30
-+++
-
-*Consensus algorithms such as Raft and Paxos, which are used in many distributed databases,
-have notoriously unpredictable performance in low-quality networks that suffer from
-latency, jitter, packet loss and/or unavailable nodes, which is why Garage does not use
-them and uses only CRDTs. A new paper by Antoniadis et al., [*Leaderless Consensus*](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0743731523000151),
-introduces a new category of algorithms that better tolerate the frequent 
-unavailability of a subset of nodes. However, additional research and practical work is required before
-these results can be put into practice. Read for more details.*
-
-<!-- more -->
-
----
-
-As I have said many times when presenting Garage, we have made a point of not
-using any consensus algorithm in Garage and using only CRDTs, for several
-reasons.  The first, and most important reason, is that all of the consensus
-algorithms that we know of[^1] (in particular Raft, which is very popular in
-distributed databases) suffer from unpredictable performance when nodes or the
-network are unreliable.  Even in relatively stable conditions, Raft-like
-algorithms can still be much slower than CRDTs (as we have shown in some
-[benchmarks](https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/benchmarks/#on-a-complex-simulated-network))
-because they elect a leader node and require all operations to pass through the
-leader, which can become a bottleneck.  Other than performance issues, Raft is
-a complex algorithm and implementing it correctly is a challenging software
-engineering endeavor that we did not wish to undertake, preferring instead
-simplicity as a foundational principle to help us write correct software.
-
-However, writing a distributed system such as Garage can be challenging when
-consensus is not available, as we can only use CRDTs (conflict-free replicated
-data types) in the code, and we cannot rely on state machine replication.  This
-means that the specific semantics of CRDTs have to be taken into account
-everywhere in the code, which is often not a problem but sometimes adds some
-complexity.  More importantly, this means that a whole class of features cannot
-be implemented in Garage, like those that would require some form of locking or
-exclusive access.  In practice, this has been causing us issues on the
-CreateBucket endpoint, which by definition is meant to exclusively associate a
-bucket name to a newly created bucket. In current Garage versions, concurrent
-calls to CreateBucket with the same name may create several buckets and leave
-Garage in an inconsistent state.
-
-This leads naturally to the following question: is it possible to implement a
-consensus algorithm that eschews the shortcomings of Raft-like algorithms in
-unreliable systems?  And in particular, is it possible to implement a consensus
-algorithm that does not elect a leader, and is therefore not sensitive to
-temporary slowdowns or unavailabilities of individual nodes?  A new paper by
-Antoniadis et al., [*Leaderless
-Consensus*](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0743731523000151)
-[[PDF](/blog/2023-11-thoughts-on-leaderless-consensus/2023-Leaderless_consensus_JPDC.pdf)],
-suggests that the answer is *yes*.  However, as with all new research, putting
-it into practice will take some time and a lot of work.  I will discuss in this
-article practical questions posed by the *Leaderless Consensus* paper, and
-further steps that could be taken to advance on these issues.
-
-Please note that the entire content of this article is **purely speculative**
-and does not include any *positive results*. Note also that we are not
-discussing Byzantine-tolerant systems, which seem to be the main focus of
-*Leaderless Consensus*, even though the authors also propose an algorithm for
-non-Byzantine systems (the one we are interested in).
-
-## Main takeaways of *Leaderless Consensus*
-
-To be able to meaningfully say that an algorithm is *leaderless*, one has to first
-determine what *leaderless* precisely means. The paper starts by offering such
-a definition, using a network model they call *synchronous-k* ("synchronous minus *k*"),
-where *n* nodes are running in synchronous steps where at most *k* nodes might be
-offline, paused, or otherwise unavailable, at each step.
-The *synchronous-k* model has a variant called *eventually synchronous-k* which seems
-to better model the behaviour of WAN links on the Internet, although I am not sure
-of the precise difference between the two. Once the *synchronous-k* network model
-is defined, a leaderless consensus algorithm is simply defined as a consensus algorithm
-that still works (i.e. it terminates, giving a decision), in a *synchronous-1* system.
-Concretely, this means that at any given time, a random node in the network may be
-disconnected (not always the same one), and the consensus algorithm will be impacted
-only minimally. In other words, we can say that a leaderless consensus algorithm
-degrades gracefully in the presence of transient node failures.
-This "graceful degradation" property, which Raft does not have,
-seems to be exactly what we are looking for in a potential consensus algorithm that
-could be added to Garage.
-
-Having given this definition, the paper continues by offering concrete
-algorithms to implement leaderless consensus. Of particular interest to us, the
-paper presents in Section 5 a leaderless consensus algorithm, which they call
-OFT-Archipelago, which works in message passing systems without Byzantine
-nodes, where the only faults that can occur are message omissions (like
-messages being dropped by the network, or temporary node crashes).  This is
-exactly the premise made by Garage, so this algorithm could be a good candidate
-for us. Interestingly, while leaderless consensus is formally defined as a
-consensus algorithm that works in a *synchronous-1* system (i.e.  tolerating
-only one failed node at each step), Archipelago works with up to *f < n/2*
-unavailable nodes at each time steps.
-
-According to the benchmarks in the leaderless consensus paper, while
-Archipelago has very good throughput (around 50kops/s), the latency of
-individual operations is generally between 1 or 2 seconds. This seems to be
-acceptable for application in Garage if used only for administrative operations
-on buckets and access keys which are relatively rare. From a theoretical point
-of view, OFT-Archipelago can terminate in 3 RTT in the optimal scenario,
-however it is not clear to me whether there is an upper bound on the
-termination time, or whether there is a probabilistic analysis of the
-termination delays that could be made.  It is also not very clear to me the
-link between this algorithm and the FLP impossibility theorem: since
-Archipelago seems to do things that are forbidden by FLP, it means that the
-premise of a *synchronous-k* system is probably in fact much stronger that the
-network asynchrony assumed by FLP.
-
-Among the other advantages of OFT-Archipelago is the fact that the algorithm
-seems to be very simple, much more than Raft, as it is described in the paper
-in only 42 lines of very understandable pseudocode.  There is also a BFT
-variant of Archipelago, which is not of interest to us in the context of Garage
-as we are making the hypothesis that all nodes are trusted.
-
-## Where to go from now?
-
-Before an algorithm such as OFT-Archipelago can be added to Garage, a few fundamental
-questions need to be answered, among which:
-
-- How should Archipelago interact with Garage's use of CRDT data types? Do we
-  have to create a fully separate subsystem for things that are managed under
-  consensus, or can we hopefully share some logic?  More precisely, can we use
-  a consensus algorithm simply as a total order broadcast primitive that
-  becomes a mandatory passing point for all modification requests on a set of
-  metadata tables, with those tables still being based on the CRDT table
-  replication and synchronisation library which is currently in use in Garage?
-  In this situation, nodes that come back from a crash can simply catch up on
-  old changes using the Merkle tree algorithm synchronisation algorithm that we
-  already have.  Or must we use the consensus algorithm as the only way to
-  broadcast operations and data for the tables that are managed by it? This
-  would mean that we must add specific logic to handle the case of a node
-  coming back from a crash, where it must either download all the log of
-  operations since it was last up, or an entire snapshot of the metadata tables
-  in question. I think this is mostly related to the reason we want to add
-  consensus, and the exact consistency guarantees we are expecting it to
-  provide to us.
-
-- Can Archipelago be made correct under cluster reconfiguration scenarios? This
-  is linked to the work done for task 3 of the 2023 NLnet project
-  ([#495](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/495),
-  [#667](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/667)), which focuses
-  on making the Quorum-based algorithm for CRDT updates reliable even when the
-  cluster layout is updated. I will be writing more about this topic in a
-  future blog post, but in a nutshell, the NLnet task is mainly focused on
-  maintaining read-after-write consistency in Garage at all times, which has
-  led us to develop a relatively general framework for modeling algorithm based
-  on quorums. Since Archipelago also guarantees its correctness using a
-  non-empty-intersection-of-quorums property, it could benefit from the work
-  that was originally made on quorums for the CRDT algorithms.
-
-If we obtain satisfactory answers to these questions, the remaining work will be
-the technical implementation of Archipelago in Garage and its validation:
-
-- Determine more precisely how the pipelined version of Archipelago is made,
-  as its complete description is not given in the leaderless consensus paper,
-  only a few basic pointers (Section 8.1 of the JPDC version).
-
-- Implement Archipelago in Rust, ideally under the form of a generic reusable crate
-  that could be used outside of the context of Garage.
-
-- Do a benchmark of Archipelago vs. existing Raft implementations (for instance
-  the async-raft crate).  We should benchmark the algorithms in the following
-  scenarios: stable networking, high latency and jitter, evolutive situation
-  with different phases.  My hypothesis is that Archipelago could be slower (in
-  terms of latency, not necessarily in throughput) than Raft in the stable
-  networking scenario, but the other two scenarios would force Raft to
-  reconfigure often (i.e. change leaders), which could be the source of huge
-  performance penalties, which Archipelago would not suffer from.
-
-- Integrate Archipelago with Garage to solve the CreateBucket issue.
-
-- To validate our implementation, we would want to test it using automated
-  testing frameworks such as Jepsen. I've been using Jepsen for the NLnet task
-  3 and I'm starting to understand quite well how it works, so this could be
-  relatively easy.
-
-- If we want to go further, there is always the possibility of formalizing a
-  proof of our implementation, however I don't know what are the good tools to
-  do this, and in all cases it would be an extreme amount of work.

-title="Maintaining read-after-write consistency in all circumstances"
-date=2023-12-06
-+++
-
-*Garage is a data storage system that is based on CRDTs internally. It does not
-use a consensus algorithm such as Raft, therefore maintaining consistency in a
-cluster has to be done by other means. Since its inception, Garage has made use
-of read and write quorums to guarantee read-after-write consistency, the only
-consistency guarantee it provides. However, as of Garage v0.9.0, this guarantee
-is not maintained when the composition of a cluster is updated and data is
-moved between storage nodes. As part of our current NLnet-funded project, we
-are developing a solution to this problem. This blog post proposes a
-high-level overview of the proposed solution.*
-
-<!-- more -->
-
----
-
-Garage provides mainly one consistency guarantee, read-after-write for objects, which can be described as follows:
-
-**Read-after-write consistency.** *If a client A writes an object x (e.g. using
-PutObject) and receives a `HTTP 200 OK` response, and later a client B tries to
-read object x (e.g. using GetObject), then B will read the version written by
-A, or a more recent version.*
-
-The consistency guarantee offered by Garage is slightly more general than this
-simplistic formulation, as it also applies to other S3 endpoints such as
-ListObjects, which are always guaranteed to reflect the latest version of
-objects inserted in a bucket.  Note that Amazon calls this guarantee [*strong*
-read-after-write consistency](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/consistency/) (they
-also have it on AWS), to differentiate it from [another definition of
-read-after-write
-consistency](https://avikdas.com/2020/04/13/scalability-concepts-read-after-write-consistency.html)
-that only applies to data that is read by the same client that wrote it.  Since
-that weaker form is also called
-[read-your-writes](https://jepsen.io/consistency/models/read-your-writes), I
-will always be referring to the strong version when using the term
-"read-after-write consistency".
-
-In Garage, this consistency guarantee at the level of objects in the S3 API is
-in fact a reflection of read-after-write consistency in the internal metadata
-engine (which is a distributed key/value store with CRDT values).  Reads and
-writes to metadata tables use quorums of 2 out of 3 nodes for each operation,
-ensuring that if operation B starts after operation A has completed, then there
-is at least one node that is handling both operation A and B. In the case where
-A is a write (an update) and B is a read, that node will have the opportunity
-to return the value written in A to the reading client B.  A visual depiction
-of this process can be found in [this
-presentation](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/src/commit/a8b0e01f88b947bc34c05d818d51860b4d171967/doc/talks/2023-09-20-ocp/talk.pdf)
-on slide 32 (pages 57-64), and the algorithm is written down on slide 33 (page
-54).
-
-Note that read-after-write guarantees [are broken and have always
-been](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/147) for metadata
-related to buckets and access keys, which might not be something we can fix due
-to different requirements on the quorums for the related metadata tables. 
-
-
-## Current issues with read-after-write consistency
-
-Maintaining read-after-write consistency depends crucially on the intersection
-of the quorums being non-empty. There is however a scenario where these quorums
-may be empty: when the set of nodes affected to storing some entries changes,
-for instance when nodes are added or removed and data is being rebalanced
-between nodes.
-
-### A concrete example
-
-Take the case of a partition (a subset of the data stored by Garage) which is
-stored on nodes A, B and C. At some point, a layout change occurs in the
-cluster, and after the change, nodes A, D and E are responsible for storing the
-partition. All read and write operations that were initiated before the layout
-change, or by nodes that were not yet aware of the new layout version, will be
-directed to nodes A, B and C, and will be handled by a quorum of two nodes among
-those three.  However, once the new layout is introduced in the cluster, read
-and write operations will start being directed to nodes A, D and E, expecting a
-quorum of two nodes among this new set of three nodes. 
-
-Crucially,  coordinating when operations start being directed to the new layout
-is a hard problem, and in all cases we must assume that due to some network
-asynchrony, there can still be some nodes that keep sending requests to nodes
-A, B and C for a long time even after everyone else is aware of the new layout.
-Moreover, data will be progressively moved from nodes B and C to nodes D and E,
-which can take a long time depending on the quantity of data. This creates a
-period of uncertainty as to where exactly the data is stored in the cluster.
-Overall, this basically means that this simplistic scheme gives us no way to
-guarantee the intersection-of-quorums property, which is necessary for
-read-after-write.
-
-Concretely, here is a very simple scenario in which read-after-write is broken:
-
-1. A write operation is directed to nodes A, B and C (the old layout), and
-   receives OK responses from nodes B and C, forming a quorum, so the write
-   completes successfully.  The written data then arrives to node A as well.
-
-2. The new layout version is introduced in the cluster.
-
-3. Before nodes D and E have had the chance to retrieve the data that was
-   stored on nodes B and C, a read operation for the same key is directed to
-   nodes A, D and E. D and E both return an OK response with no data (a null
-   value), because they is not yet up-to-date.  An answer from node A is not
-   received in time.  The two responses from nodes D and E, that contain no
-   data, still form a quorum, so the read returns a null value instead of the
-   value that was written before, even though the write operation reported a
-   success.
-
-
-### Evidencing the issue with Jepsen testing
-
-The first thing that I had to do for the NLnet project was to develop a testing
-framework to show that read-after-write consistency issues could in fact arise
-in Garage when the cluster layout was updated.  To make such tests, I chose to
-use the [Jepsen](https://jepsen.io/) testing framework, which helps us put
-distributed software in complex adverse scenarios and verify whether they
-respect some claimed consistency guarantees or not.
-
-I will not enter into too much detail on the testing procedure, but suffice to
-say that issues were found. More precisely, I was able to show that Garage
-*did* guarantee read-after-write in a variety of adverse scenarios such as
-network partitions, node crashes and clock scrambling, but that it was unable
-to do so as soon as regular layout updates were introduced.
-
-The progress of the Jepsen testing work is tracked in [PR
-#544](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/pulls/544)
-
-
-## Fixing read-after-write consistency when layouts change
-
-To solve this issue, we will have to keep track of several pieces of
-information in the cluster.  We will also have to adapt our read/write quorums
-and our data transfer strategy during rebalancing to make sure that data can be
-found when it is requested.
-
-First of all, we adapted Garage's code to be able to handle *several versions
-of the cluster layout* that can be live in the cluster at the same time, to
-keep track of multiple possible locations for data that is currently being
-transferred between nodes.  When multiple cluster layout versions are live,
-write operations are directed to all of the nodes responsible for storing the
-data in all the live versions. This ensures that the nodes in the oldest live
-layout version always have an up-to-date view of the data, and that a read
-quorum among those nodes is always a safe way to ensure read-after-write
-consistency.
-
-Nodes will progressively synchronize data so that the nodes in the newest live
-layout version will catch up with data stored by nodes in the older live layout
-version.  Once nodes in the newer layout versions also have an up-to-date view
-of the data, read operations will progressively start using a quorum of nodes
-in the new layout version instead of the old one.
-
-Once all nodes are reading from newer layout versions, the oldest live versions
-can be pruned. This means that writes will stop being directed to those nodes,
-and the nodes will delete the data they were storing.  Obviously, in the (very
-common) case where some nodes are both in the old and new layout versions,
-those nodes will not delete their data and they will continue to receive
-writes.
-
-### Performance impacts
-
-When multiple layout versions are live, writes are sent to all nodes
-responsible for the partition of the requested key in all live layout
-versions, and will return OK only when they receive a quorum of OK responses
-for each of the live layout versions.  This means that writes could be a bit
-slower when a layout change is being synchronized in the cluster. Typically if
-only one node is changing between the old and the new layout version, the write
-operation will await for 3 responses among 4 requests, instead of the classical
-2 responses among 3 requests.
-
-Concerning reads, they are still sent to only three nodes.  Indeed,  they are
-sent to the nodes of the newest live layout version for which nodes have
-completed a sync to catch up on existing data, and they only expect a quorum of
-2 responses among the three nodes of that layout version.  This way, reads
-always stay as performant as when no layout change is being processed.
-
-### Ensuring that new nodes are up-to-date
-
-An additional coordination mechanism is necessary for the data synchronization
-procedure, to ensure that it is not started too early and that after it
-completes, the nodes in the new layout indeed contains an up-to-date view of
-the data.
-
-Indeed, imagine the following adverse scenario, which we want to avoid: a new
-layout version is introduced in the cluster, and nodes immediately start
-copying the data to the new nodes. However, some write operations that were
-initiated before the new layout was introduced (or that were handled by a node
-not yet aware of the layout) could be delayed, and the written data was not yet
-received by the old nodes when they sent their copy of everything.  When the
-sync reports completion, and read operations start being directed to nodes of
-the new layout, the written data might be missing from the nodes handling the
-read, and read-after-write consistency could be violated.
-
-To avoid this situation, the synchronization operation is not initiated until
-all cluster nodes have reported an "acknowledge" of the new layout version,
-indicating that they have received the new layout version, and that they are no
-longer processing write operations that were only addressed to nodes of the
-previous layout versions.  This makes sure that no data will be missed by the
-sync: once the sync has started, no more data can be written only to old layout
-versions.  All of the writes will also be directed to the new nodes. More
-exactly: all data that the source nodes of the sync does not yet contain when
-the sync starts, is written by a write operation that is also directed at a
-quorum of nodes among the new ones. This means that at the end of the sync, a
-read quorum among the new nodes will necessarily return an up-to-date copy of
-all of the data.
-
-### Details on update trackers
-
-As you can see, the previous algorithm needs to keep track of a lot of
-information in the cluster. This information is kept in three "layout update trackers",
-which keep track of the following information:
-
-- The `ack` layout tracker keeps track of nodes receiving the latest layout
-  versions and indicating that they are no longer processing writes addressed
-  only to older layout versions. Once all nodes have acknowledged a new
-  version, we know that all in-progress and future write operations that are
-  made in the cluster are directed to the nodes that were added in this layout
-  version as well.
-
-- The `sync` layout tracker keeps track of nodes finishing a full metadata table
-  sync, that was started after all nodes `ack`'ed the new layout version.
-
-- The `sync_ack` layout tracker keeps track of nodes receiving the `sync`
-  tracker update for all cluster nodes, and thus starting to direct reads to
-  the newly synchronized layout version. This makes it possible to know when no
-  more nodes are reading from an old version, at which point the corresponding
-  data can be deleted.
-
-In the simplest scenario, only two layout versions are live, and these trackers
-therefore can only have the values `n` (the new layout version) and `n-1` (the
-old one).  However this mechanism handles the general case where several
-successive layout updates are being processed and more than two layout versions
-are live simultaneously. The layout update trackers can take as values the
-version numbers of any currently live layout version.
-
-### What about dead nodes?
-
-In this post I have used many times the phrases "once all nodes have
-acknowledged a new layout version", or "once all nodes have completed a sync".
-This obviously means that if some nodes are dead or unresponsive, the
-processing of the layout update can be delayed indefinitely, and nodes in the
-old layout versions will keep receiving writes and storing unnecessary data.
-This is an unfortunate fact with the method proposed here. To cover for these
-situations, the following workarounds can be made:
-
-- A layout change is generally a supervised operation, meaning that a system
-  administrator may manually intervene to inform the cluster that certain nodes
-  are dead and that their layout tracker values should not be taken into
-  account.
-
-- For the `sync` update tracker, we don't actually need to wait for all of the
-  synchronizations to terminate, quorums can be used instead as they should be
-  sufficient to ensure that the copied data is up-to-date.
-
-- For the `ack` and `sync_ack` update trackers, we can automatically increase
-  them for all nodes (even dead ones) after a certain time delay, as there is
-  no reason for the changes taking more than e.g. 10 minutes to propagate in
-  regular conditions. We might not enable this behaviour by default, though,
-  due to its possible impacts on consistency.
-
-
-## Current status and future work
-
-The work described in this blog post is currently almost complete but it still
-needs to be ironed out.  I have made a first run of Jepsen testing on the new
-code that showed that the changes seem to be fixing the issue.  I will be
-running longer and more intensive runs of Jepsen testing once the code is
-finished, to make sure everything is fine.  The changes will require a major
-update of Garage: this will be the v0.10.0 release, which will probably be
-finished in January or February of 2024. This update will be a very safe and
-transparent update, as only the layout data structure is changed and nothing
-related to object storage itself is touched.
-
-If I had the time to do so, I would write the algorithm described in this post
-in a formal way, in the form of a scientific paper. I believe such a paper
-would be worthy of presenting at a scientific conference or journal, especially
-given the fact that it is motivated by a very concrete use case and has been
-validated quite thoroughly (with Jepsen).  Unfortunately, this is not my
-highest priority at the moment.

-that we have developped for the needs of our association. Today, these grants are in peril, as the European Commission wishes to finance AI projects instead.
-We relay and sign an open letter from our friends at petites singularités, that asks that the NGI project be maintained, as it provides great assistance
-for the development of free software and commons on the Internet.*
-
-<!-- more -->
-

-
-Since 2020, Next Generation Internet (NGI) programmes, part of European
-Commission's Horizon programme, fund free software in Europe using a cascade
-funding mechanism (see for example NLnet's calls). This year, according to the
-Horizon Europe working draft detailing funding programmes for 2025, we notice
-that Next Generation Internet is not mentioned any more as part of Cluster 4.
-
-NGI programmes have shown their strength and importance to support the European
-software infrastructure, as a generic funding instrument to fund digital
-commons and ensure their long-term sustainability. We find this transformation
-incomprehensible, moreover when NGI has proven efficient and ecomomical to
-support free software as a whole, from the smallest to the most established
-initiatives. This ecosystem diversity backs the strength of European
-technological innovation, and maintaining the NGI initiative to provide
-structural support to software projects at the heart of worldwide innovation is
-key to enforce the sovereignty of a European infrastructure. 
-
-Contrary to common perception, technical innovations often originate from
-European rather than North American programming communities, and are mostly
-initiated by small-scaled organizations.
-
-Previous Cluster 4 allocated 27 millions euros to:
-
-- "Human centric Internet aligned with values and principles commonly shared in Europe" ;
-
-- "A flourishing internet, based on common building blocks created within NGI, that enables better control of our digital life" ;
-
-- "A structured eco-system of talented contributors driving the creation of new internet commons and the evolution of existing internet commons".
-
-In the name of these challenges, more than 500 projects received NGI funding in
-the first 5 years, backed by 18 organisations managing these European funding
-consortia.
-
-NGI contributes to a vast ecosystem, as most of its budget is allocated to fund
-third parties by the means of open calls, to structure commons that cover the
-whole Internet scope - from hardware to application, operating systems, digital
-identities or data traffic supervision. This third-party funding is not renewed
-in the current program, leaving many projects short on resources for research
-and innovation in Europe.
-
-Moreover, NGI allows exchanges and collaborations across all the Euro zone
-countries as well as "widening countries"[^1], currently both a success and and an
-ongoing progress, likewise the Erasmus programme before us. NGI also
-contributes to opening and supporting longer relationships than strict project
-funding does. It encourages to implement projects funded as pilots, backing
-collaboration, identification and reuse of common elements across projects,
-interoperability in identification systems and beyond, and setting up
-development models that mix diverse scales and types of European funding
-schemes.
-
-While the USA, China or Russia deploy huge public and private resources to
-develop software and infrastructure that massively capture private consumer
-data, the EU can't afford this renunciation.
-
-Free and open source software, as supported by NGI since 2020, is by design the
-opposite of potential vectors for foreign interference. It lets us keep our
-data local and favors a community-wide economy and know-how, while allowing an
-international collaboration.  This is all the more essential in the current
-geopolitical context: the challenge of technological sovereignty is central,
-and free software allows to address it while acting for peace and sovereignty
-in the digital world as a whole.
