Replication is the lazy answer. Copy everything everywhere and hope the bill never comes due. Walrus chose a sharper route. Slice the data. Spread it intelligently. Let math handle the rest. The result feels lighter, faster, and far less wasteful. Sui’s parallel execution keeps things moving without congestion, which matters when files stop being “small.” WAL hums underneath as the incentive glue, keeping providers aligned and services steady. This is the kind of storage layer developers don’t talk about at launch parties, but rely on when their apps actually scale. Not a narrative. Not a trend. Just infrastructure doing what it’s supposed to do.
