  • casync

    Content-Addressable Data Synchronization Tool

  • Software that comes to mind for syncing lots of small files: git (and other source versioning tools), casync (https://github.com/systemd/casync) and a go implementation (https://github.com/folbricht/desync). Not really an answer and I can't think of a way to shoehorn that into your workflow, but maybe it leads you down a useful road.

  • Filestash

    🦄 A modern web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze, ...

  • Sync seems to be the biggest issue and this doesn't solve for it, but have you looked at filestash ( https://www.filestash.app/)? It was built in part in response to nextcloud performance.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • desync

    Alternative casync implementation

  • Software that comes to mind for syncing lots of small files: git (and other source versioning tools), casync (https://github.com/systemd/casync) and a go implementation (https://github.com/folbricht/desync).

  • spacedrive

    Spacedrive is an open source cross-platform file explorer, powered by a virtual distributed filesystem written in Rust.

  • Spacedrive isn't a solution today but I'm holding out hope for it.

  • Check out https://github.com/fractalnetworsco/docker-plugin if you're looking for a Docker native volume driver with built in replication, powered by btrfs.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
