Show HN: ZeroFS – Make S3 your primary storage

Category: infrastructure

Tags: filesystem, s3, storage, nfs, rust, encryption

Score: 8.3/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 9, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

ZeroFS is a high-performance userspace filesystem that exposes S3-compatible storage as POSIX filesystems via NFS, 9P, and NBD, with built-in encryption, compression, and local caching. It is particularly interesting for its ability to run complex workloads like compiling the Linux kernel or hosting ZFS directly on S3, combined with rigorous CI testing and a comprehensive architecture.

Target audience: devops, backend devs, data engineers
