alt Hacker NewsLet's remember that JuiceFS can be setup very easily to not have a single point of failure (by replicating the metadata engine), meanwhile ZeroFS seems to have exactly that.
If I was a company I know which one I'd prefer.

Yea, that is a big caveat to ZeroFS. Single point of failure. It is like saying I can write a faster etcd by only having a single node. Sure, that is possible, but the hard part of distributed systems is the coordination, and coordination always makes performance worse.
I personally have went with Ceph for distributed storage. I personally have a lot more confidence in Ceph over JuiceFS and ZeroFS, but realize building and running a ceph cluster is more complex, but with that complexity you get much cheaper S3, block storage, and cephfs.
