What is ZapFS?

ZapFS is a distributed object storage system with an S3-compatible API, written in Go. It provides enterprise-grade storage capabilities including:

S3-compatible API for seamless integration with existing tools
Raft-based consensus for high availability
Content-hash deduplication to save storage space
Erasure coding for data durability
Horizontal scaling across multiple nodes

Architecture Overview

ZapFS consists of three main components:

Component	Description
Manager	Raft-based control plane for cluster coordination, IAM, and placement decisions
Metadata	S3-compatible API gateway with authentication and request routing
File Server	Chunk storage with content-hash deduplication and erasure coding

Community vs Enterprise

ZapFS is open-core software. The Community Edition includes all core S3 functionality and is free to use under the Apache 2.0 license. Enterprise features require a commercial license.
