- DeltaGlider is an S3 replacement that achieves 99.9% size reduction for versioned compressed artifacts, backups, and release archives using binary delta compression (xdelta3).
- Case study: Reduced storage from 3.96TB to 4.9GB (99.9% compression), saving $1,120/year to $1.32/year.
- Install via pip, uv, or Docker. Supports AWS, MinIO, and custom S3 endpoints with encryption always enabled.
- Key features: Automatic delta compression, S3 compatibility, CLI/SDK/GUI support, and data integrity checks.
- Ideal for software releases, DB backups, and versioned binary data. Not suitable for multimedia or small files.
- Migration tool available to compress existing S3 data with resume support and progress tracking.
- Open-source (MIT license), battle-tested in production, and welcomes contributions.
