Our Goals

We made it lightweight and kept the efficiency in mind:

Self-contained
We ship a single dependency-free binary that runs on all Linux distributions
Fast to deploy, safe to operate
We are sysadmins, we know the value of operator-friendly software
Deploy everywhere on every machine
We do not have a dedicated backbone, and neither do you,
so we made software that run over the Internet across multiple datacenters
Highly resilient
to network failures, network latency, disk failures, sysadmin failures

Keeping requirements low

We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible:

CPU
Any x86_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8
RAM
1 GB
Disk space
At least 16 GB
Network
200 ms or less, 50 Mbps or more
Heterogeneous hardware
Build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available

Data resiliency for everyone

We built Garage to suit your existing infrastructure:

Garage implements the Amazon S3 API
and thus is already compatible with many applications.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Garage leverages insights from recent research in distributed systems:
