| Machine learning training in UCSD | Lots of small random reads via S3. | Spun up 75 GPUs and it's ticking along happily. I can not get more than about 20 GPUS going in parallel on Ceph with these IO intensive jobs. ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FYJQOXxUsAAuK64?format=png&name=4096x4096) |
| Using SeaweedFS as part of the startup [OroraTech](https://ororatech.com/) where we are processing large amounts of infrared and visual satellite data to detect wildfires worldwide. Along with the actual hotspot detections we are generating large amounts of prerendered tile data (Slippy Maps) from the near realtime satellite images.| Right now running two identical dedicated servers with 140TB storage each for the staging and prod deployments of the tile storage. On these servers SeaweedFS is deployed through docker-compose and with a reverse proxy in front of it. This setup should be sufficient for quite some time, but the option of scaling to a distributed deployment in the future is helpful. | We were using AWS S3 for this purpose but wanted to find a scalable solution to handle our rapidly increasing S3 costs ($400/day mainly caused by the number of PUT operations, 40TB in 1 billion objects in the end). |

| replaced ceph with a seaweedfs under the docker registry in production | Under the registry half a million files. Not big but have intensive exchange. | Killer feature of seaweedfs is that it disign like S3 in yandex and can work in k8s and spread between data centers. Ceph has a bad design in the case of using a huge number of small files over 10 million, cluster recovery takes several days. The next step is to use instead of Glusterfs, which is now barely alive and is bent from 10 million files. |
