Why you'll love Alarik

What makes Alarik worth launching.

Works with your favorite tools

Alarik is S3-compatible, which means it works with hundreds of apps and SDKs you may already use — file browsers, backup software, developer tools, and more. No special setup required.

Built-in web console

Manage everything from your browser. The clean, modern web interface lets you create buckets, upload files, browse your data, and manage access — all without touching a command line.

Blazing fast performance

Alarik is built from the ground up for speed. It handles many simultaneous requests with low latency, so your apps stay responsive even when you're storing and serving lots of data.

Handles any file type

Images, videos, documents, backups, logs, archives — Alarik doesn't care what you throw at it. Store everything in one place and access it whenever you need.

Secure by design

Built with memory-safe technology, Alarik eliminates entire classes of common vulnerabilities. Your data stays protected without you having to think about it.

Simple bucket-based organization

Group your files into buckets — like labeled storage rooms. Keep your photos separate from your backups, your user uploads separate from your logs. Stay organized at any scale.

Who is Alarik for?

If you fit one of these, Alarik is probably built for you.

Developers who need a fast, reliable place to store user-uploaded files, images, or media for their web and mobile apps
Small teams who want a central file storage system that multiple apps and services can access
Anyone who needs to store and organize large collections of files — photos, videos, documents, archives — and access them easily
Tech-savvy users and makers who run their own projects and want a storage backend that's fast, open, and won't surprise them with licensing changes

Details

A closer look at Alarik

Alarik is a modern object storage app that lets you store, manage, and serve files of any kind — from photos and PDFs to backups and logs. Think of it as a fast, private storage vault that your apps can talk to effortlessly. Object storage is different from a regular folder on your computer. Instead of organizing files in a tree of folders, everything lives in "buckets" — flexible containers that scale effortlessly as you add more data. This makes Alarik ideal for handling large amounts of unstructured data, like a growing library of user-uploaded images, a collection of video files, or daily backups of your important work. Alarik is compatible with the S3 protocol, which means it works with hundreds of popular apps, tools, and SDKs right out of the box. Whether you're using a file manager, a backup tool, or building your own custom app, Alarik plugs in without any special configuration. With its built-in web console, you can browse your files, create and manage buckets, and see what's stored — all from a clean, modern interface. No command line needed. Alarik is still in active development (alpha stage), but its core storage functionality is already operational and fast. It's built by people who rely on this type of storage every day, so it's designed with real-world performance and reliability in mind.

Why Alarik?

Alarik stands out because it's built for real-world performance without the complexity. Most storage solutions either lock you into a specific ecosystem or slow down as you add more data. Alarik is different: it's designed to be fast from day one, works with the tools you already use, and comes with a clean web interface so you're never stuck fumbling with technical commands. It's also genuinely open — built by a team that actually uses object storage daily in their own products. That means every feature is driven by real needs, not a corporate roadmap. Whether you're storing a few gigabytes of family photos or terabytes of application data, Alarik gives you the speed, simplicity, and reliability you need.

Alarik FAQ

Everything you need to know about launching Alarik on OpenZapps.

Any kind. Images, videos, PDFs, documents, backups, archives, logs, code — Alarik handles all file types. There are no restrictions on what you can upload.

Nope. Alarik comes with a built-in web console you can access from your browser to upload, download, and manage files. If you want to connect other apps to it, they just need to support S3-compatible storage — which thousands of apps do.

Yes. Alarik works with any tool that speaks the S3 protocol. That includes popular backup apps, file managers, developer SDKs, and cloud migration tools. Just point them at your Alarik endpoint and you're good to go.

Alarik is built for apps and automated workflows, not just manual file syncing. It's designed to be a storage backend that other software can read from and write to programmatically. Think of it as the storage engine behind your apps, not a folder on your desktop.

Alarik is currently in alpha, which means it's under active development. Core storage functionality works, but you may encounter breaking changes as the team continues to improve performance and stability. It's great for testing, development, and non-critical projects.
