Embodiments are directed to a file system that include object stores. An object store for write requests may be provided. Write ahead log (WAL) entries that include data blocks may be generated. A WAL object may be generated based on the WAL entries and stored in the object store. An in-memory overlay may be updated to associate the data blocks with the WAL object. A checkpoint operation may be executed to: generate an index object that includes index entries that associate other data blocks with data objects stored in the object store; update the index object to include index entries that associate the data blocks with the WAL object; store the updated index object in the object store; update the in-memory overlay to remove the association of the data blocks and the WAL object and update the in memory WAL to remove records of successfully checkpointed WAL objects.

Object-based storage with garbage collection and data consolidation

Embodiments are directed to tiered data store with persistent layers. A write tier in the file system for storing in a file system. A value for a performance metric that corresponds to write requests to the file system may be predicted based on characteristics of the write requests such that the performance metric may be determined based on a plurality of interactions with the write tier. The predicted value that exceeds a threshold value of the performance metric may be employed to cause performance of further actions, including: queuing a portion of the write requests in a memory buffer based on the predicted value and the threshold value; combining the queued portion of the write requests into s; storing the data segments in the write tier such that a measured value of the performance metric may be less than the threshold value.
