/ About /

JuiceFS is an open-source, cloud-native distributed file system that separates data and metadata storage, using object storage backends alongside engines like Redis, PostgreSQL, and TiKV. It supports POSIX, HDFS, and S3 protocols, making it compatible with a wide range of applications and workloads. It is designed to handle hundreds of billions of files at high throughput and low latency for use cases such as big data, AI, and autonomous driving.

/ How it works /

JuiceFS separates data storage (using object storage) from metadata storage (using engines like Redis or TiKV), enabling elastic, high-throughput file access via POSIX, HDFS, and S3 protocols.

/ Who it's for /

developers and enterprises running large-scale data workloads on cloud or multi-cloud environments
