| Awesome project! It might just be a release timing thing, but what's the advantage of this over Amazon Elastic File System [1]? I see you've got a tagline on your signup No need to wait for EFS, are you planning a feature comparison or similar? [1] https://aws.amazon.com/efs/ edit: derp. Turns out I should have read further! How is ObjectiveFS different from Amazon EFS? ObjectiveFS uses highly durable object stores (Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage) to store your files. Your data is accessible from all regions, your office and your laptops. Performance scales with your object store. ObjectiveFS supports Linux and OS X and is running in production today. Amazon EFS is NFS-based, with access to each file system limited to EC2 instances in the same region. It is not available today and will only be in limited preview for some customers in summer 2015. It will cost $0.30/GB and performance will scale with the number of GB stored. https://objectivefs.com/faq#how-is-objectivefs-different-fro... |
