Top 3 JavaScript object-storage Projects

39 20,628 9.4 JavaScript

Parse Server for Node.js / Express

Project mention: The 2024 Web Hosting Report | dev.to | 2024-02-20

Backend as a Service (BaaS) goes back to early 2010’s with companies like Parse and Firebase. These products integrated everything a backend provides to a webapp in a single, integrated package that makes it easier to get started and enables you to offload some of the devops maintenance work to someone else.

> Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.
Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing
I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.
Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)
There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/
The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

SurveyJS

surveyjs.io featured

Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
tiny-storage-client

1 15 5.9 JavaScript

Tiny node client to request distributed AWS S3 or the OpenStack Swift Object Storage.

Project mention: S3 Client against disasters (hacks, fires, catastrophes) | dev.to | 2024-03-29

Cloud providers are selling "multi-region", which is useful; however, setting up your own "multi-cloud" provider using tiny-storage-client will make your production application more resilient.
