The Foundation team at Druva is responsible for designing a highly performant and scalable cloud file system on the Druva cloud in AWS. This file system is used to back up billions of files per day, translating to millions of metadata requests per second across regions. To build this petabyte-scale, distributed, services-oriented cloud file system, various key concepts like file system metadata, versioning, and eventual consistency are used along with leveraging various AWS services like S3, DDB, and Kinesis. A purpose-built key-value store is used for managing these metadata requests. While the core file storage engine provides the backup storage for all the Druva products, allied components like the 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.
