Distributed Object Storage and Erasure Coding: Reed-Solomon Math, Bitrot Protection, and Storage Engine Internals
A deep systems architecture guide to cloud object storage: how Erasure Coding (Reed-Solomon) slashes storage overhead by 60% compared to 3x replication, Galois Field GF(2^8) matrix arithmetic, bitrot detection, and high-throughput data reconstruction in Ceph and MinIO.
