BFS is a distributed file system for small-file storage written in Go, modeled after Facebook's Haystack architecture. It consists of directory, store, pitchfork, proxy, and ops components, using HBase for metadata and ZooKeeper for coordination.

Use cases

  • store billions of small files like images at high throughput
  • self-host a Haystack-style distributed file store
  • serve user-uploaded images with low latency
  • manage object storage clusters with metadata in HBase
  • monitor storage node health and disk status

When to choose

  • you need high-throughput, low-latency storage for many small files
  • you want a self-hosted Haystack-like design in Go
  • you already run HBase and ZooKeeper infrastructure

When to avoid

  • you need general-purpose POSIX file system semantics
  • you want a maintained project with active development and a license
  • you need large-file or block storage
  • you want a turnkey solution without HBase/ZooKeeper dependencies
