Honestly, you wouldn't want to run our internal implementation -- it's far too complicated. Unless you have 100+ datacenters around the world -- then maybe.

The goal of this new design is to scale to a cluster while being operationally very easy to set up. Ideal for self-hosting.

NFSv4 is an easy first step, convenient because it's broadly understood, has many implementations, and requires no client libraries. I could imagine a follow-up to support LiteFS instead of NFS could make a lot of sense, though it'll get more complicated.

But yes, celld is definitely ahead of us here. No doubt about that.
