Founder of cunoFS here, brilliant to see lots of activity in this space, and congrats on the launch! As you'll know, there's a whole galaxy of design decisions when building file storage, and as a storage geek it's fun to see what different choices people make!

I see you've made some similar decisions to what we did for similar reasons I think - making sure files are stored 1:1 exactly as an object without some proprietary backend scrambling, offering strong consistency and POSIX semantics on the file storage, with eventual consistency between S3 and POSIX interfaces, and targeting high performance. Looks like we differ on the managed service vs traditional download and install model, and the client-first vs server-first approach (though some of our users also run cunoFS on an NFS/SMB gateway server), and caching is a paid feature for us versus an included feature for yours.

Look forward to meeting and seeing you at storage conferences!

Great to hear from you, I think cunoFS is doing a lot of things right! It’s certainly a fun problem space!
Is that Gweo? Didn't know you were in the storage space, good to see you!
Good to see you too! Lets catchup sometime - tried to connect with you separately but no luck.
