Our Goals
We made it lightweight and kept the efficiency in mind:
- As self-contained as possible
- Easy to set up
- Made for multi-datacenter deployments
-
Highly resilient to
network failures, network latency
disk failures, sysadmin failures
Keeping requirements low
We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible:
-
Any x86_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8

CPU
-
1 GB
 }})
RAM
-
At least 16 GB
 }})
Disk space
-
200 ms or less, 50 Mbps or more
 }})
Network
-
Build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available

Heterogeneous hardware
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:
- Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly Available Key-value Store by DeCandia et al.
- Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types by Shapiro et al.
- Maglev: A Fast and Reliable Software Network Load Balancer by Eisenbud et al.
Sponsors and funding
The Deuxfleurs association has received a grant from NGI POINTER, to fund 3 people working on Garage full-time for a year : from October 2021 to September 2022.
