Single-Node First

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.

Tiny Footprint

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.

Download Path

Fast Downloads

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.

S3 Without The Bulk

Keep the S3 workflow your apps already know: buckets, objects, lists, copies, deletes, and multipart uploads. You get compatibility without carrying a storage platform built for a different scale.

Reliable Writes

Uploads land in temporary files, move into place atomically, and only become live after metadata commits. Checksums are validated inline, with startup reconciliation for leftovers.
