The Foundation team at Druva is responsible for designing a highly performant and scalable cloud file system on the Druva cloud in AWS. To build this petabyte-scale, distributed, services-oriented cloud file system various key concepts like file system metadata, versioning, eventual consistency are used along with leveraging various AWS services like S3, DDB, Kinesis. While the core file storage engine provides the backup storage for all the Druva products, allied components like indexing engine, key-value store, and big data pipeline provide scalable search, analytics, and compliance services. The team diligently keeps track of newer services, storage tiers, and various aspects of existing AWS services to take advantage of the continuous evolution of services and use them effectively in the background.
