FBS: Fast Blob Storage

S3-compatible storage for one Linux server

FBS: Fast Blob Storage launched on June 6, 2026 with 5 votes, #2,466 of 22,647 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

FBS is a self-hosted, lightweight S3-compatible object storage engine built in Go. Designed for homelabs and single-node deployments.

FBS is a lightweight, single-node storage engine with full S3 compatibility. FBS is made for one server. It keeps the storage path local and predictable, without cluster machinery that only makes sense when you have a cluster. One small binary, no heavyweight control plane, and no background scheduler pile. It stays out of the way on the same box as your app. Downloads stay direct with efficient file serving, range support, ETags, and hot metadata caching. The path is tuned for the common case: serving bytes back quickly. Keep the S3 workflow your apps already know: buckets, objects, lists, copies, deletes, and multipart uploads. You get compatibility without carrying a storage platform…from fbs-landing.vercel.app

  • CallFS – S3-style object store in one Go binary (MIT)2025 · github.com · ▲66

    We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

  • SlateDB – An embedded storage engine built on object storage2024 · github.com · ▲26

    SlateDB is an embedded storage engine built as a log-structured merge-tree. Unlike traditional LSM-tree storage engines, SlateDB writes data to object storage (S3, GCS, ABS, MinIO, Tigris, and so on). Leveraging object storage allows SlateDB to provide bottomless storage capacity, high durability, and easy replication. The trade-off is that object storage has a higher latency and higher API cost than local disk. To mitigate high write API costs (PUTs), SlateDB batches writes. Rather than writing every put() call to object storage, MemTables are flushed periodically to object storage as a…

    ZeroFS serves S3-compatible buckets as POSIX filesystems over NFS and 9P, or as raw block devices over NBD. Data is compressed and encrypted before upload.

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
