Distributed File Server (DFS)

A work-in-progress distributed file storage system built from first principles in Go.
This project focuses on understanding networking, systems design, and distributed systems internals by building each layer manually instead of relying on frameworks.

🎯 Project Goals

Learn distributed systems by building, not just reading
Implement a fault-tolerant, scalable file storage system
Gain deep understanding of:
- TCP networking
- Message framing & protocols
- Data replication
- Node coordination

🧱 Current Status

✅ Implemented

Custom TCP transport layer
Server-side Listen and Accept loop
Incoming connection handling
Manual testing using Telnet
Clean separation of transport logic

🔜 In Progress / Planned

Message framing (length-prefixed protocol)
Wire protocol (PUT / GET / DELETE)
Local file storage engine
Peer discovery & membership
Data replication & fault tolerance
