RenzoFS

RenzoFS is a distributed file system that allows users to query their file, using json written query.

The distributed service is written in Go (1.20) and uses REST as communication model, ensuring a remote access model, instead of upload-download access model.
The main functionalities of the distributed service are:

Functionality
Sign in user
Sign out user
Add user's friend
Create a remote directory
Create empty csv files
Query the files
Release file system usage statistics
Provide info about who, and when, queried files
File sharing

API Gateway

RenzoFS is a microservice-based distributed file system, with remote access model, so an API Gateway plays a crucial role,
RenzoFS API Gateway allows to choose the correct backend service by looking requests. Also provide distributed security control as Cirtuit Breaking.
