Like many smart people they focused on telling people the "how", and assume visitors to their wall of "AI"/hype text already understand the use-case "why".

1. I like that it is written in Go

2. I saw nothing above what Apache Spark+Hadoop with _consistent_ object stores already offers on Amazon (S3), Google Cloud (GCS), and or Microsoft (Azure Storage, ADLS Gen2)

Best of luck, maybe folks should look around for that https://donate.apache.org/ button before the tax year concludes =3

it was very simple to setup, and even if you just leased a bunch of servers off say OVH, far FAR cheaper to run your own than paying any of the big cloud providers.

It also had pretty low requirements, ceph can do all that but setup is more complex and RAM requirements far, far higher
