SeaweedFS
A distributed storage system for object storage (S3), file systems, and Iceberg tables, optimized for billions of files with O(1) disk access.
What is SeaweedFS?
SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system that combines object storage (S3), file systems, and Iceberg table support into a single platform. It is designed to handle billions of files with O(1) disk access, enabling fast reads and writes while scaling horizontally with minimal overhead. The system separates metadata management from data storage to avoid bottlenecks and support massive concurrency.
Developers and engineers building large-scale storage solutions, such as cloud-native applications, data lakes, or media platforms that need to manage billions of small files efficiently. It is also suitable for organizations seeking a cost-effective, self-hosted alternative to commercial distributed file systems.
Developers choose SeaweedFS for its exceptional performance with small files, simple architecture, and seamless cloud integration. Unlike many distributed file systems, it offers O(1) disk access, linear scalability without data rebalancing, and support for multiple protocols (S3, POSIX, WebDAV) out of the box.
