Gcsfuse: A user-space file system for interacting with Google Cloud Storage

FUSE does not work well with a large number of small files (due to high metadata ops such as inode/dentry lookups).
ExtFUSE (optimized FUSE with eBPF) [1] can offer you a high performance. It caches metadata in the kernel to avoid lookups in user space.
