On: Garage: Open-Source Distributed Object Storage

[vineyardmike]

It’s an S3 api compatible object store that supports distributed storage across different servers.

Object store = store blobs of bytes. Usually by bucket + key accessible over HTTP. No POSIX expectation.

Distributed = works spread across multiple servers in different locations.
