sure, but s3 is far easier to buy and also far more reliable than typical distributed systems coordinator stuff like etcd/zookeeper/consul. every major cloud offers it, and there’s several decent open source options.

I haven't deep-dived into celld. Does it requires s3's strong consistency to be correct? or is any s3 api compatible object storage sufficient even if they lack strong consistency guarantee?
