Compare IPFS Cluster vs. PeerGFS

IPFS Cluster enhances data management across a collection of IPFS daemons by managing the allocation, replication, and monitoring of a comprehensive pinset that spans multiple peers. While IPFS empowers users with content-addressed storage capabilities, the concept of a permanent web necessitates a solution for data redundancy and availability that preserves the decentralized essence of the IPFS Network. Serving as a complementary application to IPFS peers, IPFS Cluster maintains a unified cluster pinset and intelligently assigns its components to various IPFS peers. The peers in the Cluster create a distributed network that keeps an organized, replicated, and conflict-free inventory of pins. Users can directly ingest IPFS content to multiple daemons simultaneously, enhancing efficiency. Additionally, each peer in the Cluster offers an IPFS proxy API that executes cluster functions while mimicking the behavior of the IPFS daemon's API seamlessly. Written in Go, the Cluster peers can be launched and managed programmatically, making it easier to integrate into existing workflows. This capability empowers developers to leverage the full potential of decentralized storage solutions effectively.
