JuiceFS
Distributed POSIX filesystem that stores data on object storage like S3, combining familiar filesystem semantics with cloud-scale storage.

Overview
JuiceFS presents a standard POSIX filesystem interface - so existing applications can read and write to it like any local disk - while actually storing the data in an object storage backend such as S3, MinIO, or similar, with metadata kept separately for fast access. This lets teams get filesystem semantics on top of cheap, durable object storage.
JuiceFS is a fit for teams that need POSIX filesystem compatibility for tools or workloads that can't talk to object storage APIs directly, a different access pattern than MinIO or SeaweedFS's native object-storage interfaces already in this catalog.
