Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) vs. Amazon FSx vs. Amazon Keyspaces vs. Google Cloud Filestore Comparison Chart

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) automatically grows and shrinks as you add and remove files with no need for management or provisioning. Share code and other files in a secure, organized way to increase DevOps agility and respond faster to customer feedback. Persist and share data from your AWS containers and serverless applications with zero management required. Easier to use and scale, Amazon EFS offers the performance and consistency needed for machine learning and big data analytics workloads. Simplify persistent storage for modern content management system workloads. Get your products and services to market faster, more reliably, and securely at a lower cost. Create and configure shared file systems simply and quickly for AWS compute services, with no provisioning, deploying, patching, or maintenance required. Scale workloads on-demand to petabytes of storage and gigabytes per second of throughput out of the box.

Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra) is a scalable, highly available, and managed Apache Cassandra–compatible database service. With Amazon Keyspaces, you can run your Cassandra workloads on AWS using the same Cassandra application code and developer tools that you use today. You don’t have to provision, patch, or manage servers, and you don’t have to install, maintain, or operate software. Amazon Keyspaces is serverless, so you pay for only the resources you use and the service can automatically scale tables up and down in response to application traffic. You can build applications that serve thousands of requests per second with virtually unlimited throughput and storage. Amazon Keyspaces gives you the performance, elasticity, and enterprise features you need to operate business-critical Cassandra workloads at scale. Process data at high speeds for applications that require single-digit-millisecond latency, such as industrial equipment maintenance, trade monitoring, etc.
