Did you notice that *this website* is hosted and served by Garage? ## Keeping requirements low We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible as we target the largest possible public. * **CPU:** any x86\_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8. * **RAM:** 1GB * **Disk Space:** at least 16GB * **Network:** 200ms or less, 50 Mbps or more * **Heterogeneous hardware:** build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available *For the network, as we do not use consensus algorithms like Paxos or Raft, Garage is not as latency sensitive.* *Thanks to Rust and its zero-cost abstractions, we keep CPU and memory low.* ## Built on the shoulder of giants - [Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly Available Key-value Store ](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/1323293.1294281) by DeCandia et al. - [Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-24550-3_29) by Shapiro et al. - [Maglev: A Fast and Reliable Software Network Load Balancer](https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi16/technical-sessions/presentation/eisenbud) by Eisenbud et al. ## Talks - [(fr, 2021-11-13, video) Garage : Mille et une façons de stocker vos données](https://video.tedomum.net/w/moYKcv198dyMrT8hCS5jz9) and [slides (html)](https://rfid.deuxfleurs.fr/presentations/2021-11-13/garage/) - during [RFID#1](https://rfid.deuxfleurs.fr/programme/2021-11-13/) event - [(en, 2021-04-28, pdf) Distributed object storage is centralised](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/raw/commit/b1f60579a13d3c5eba7f74b1775c84639ea9b51a/doc/talks/2021-04-28_spirals-team/talk.pdf) - [(fr, 2020-12-02, pdf) Garage : jouer dans la cour des grands quand on est un hébergeur associatif](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/raw/commit/b1f60579a13d3c5eba7f74b1775c84639ea9b51a/doc/talks/2020-12-02_wide-team/talk.pdf) ## Community If you want to discuss with us, you can join our Matrix channel at [#garage:deuxfleurs.fr](https://matrix.to/#/#garage:deuxfleurs.fr).
