Verify Archil yourself

You shouldn’t have to take a vendor’s numbers on trust, so every claim below comes with a way to check it yourself.

Performance

Claim	How to check it
Mount in 50 ms p50, 4 KiB cache-miss read in 0.5 ms p50, durable 4 KiB write in 2.0 ms p50	Run the latency script in the same region as your disk. It takes about two minutes.
Checkpoint in 13 ms and branch in 33 ms p50	The same script measures both.
git, npm, and SQLite transaction workloads about 5x to 190x faster than Amazon EFS	The benchmark lists the host, tool versions, and method, so you can run the same tests from your own host.
Where Archil is slower	The same benchmark lists the tests EFS won: sequential writes, 4 KiB random writes, and one large SQLite insert.

Sandbox isolation

Sandboxes run in Firecracker, the open-source microVM monitor that AWS built for Lambda and Fargate. Its source and security model are public. To check the boundaries from inside a sandbox on the Developer plan:

curl -m 5 http://169.254.169.254/      # cloud metadata: fails
curl -m 5 https://example.com/         # not on the managed allowlist: fails
curl -m 5 https://registry.npmjs.org/  # package registry on the allowlist: succeeds
uname -r                               # the sandbox's own guest kernel

See Isolation and the firewall allowlist.

Availability

status.archil.com shows per-component uptime for the last 90 days and every incident we’ve posted. Archil disks have served production traffic since October 2024.

Integrations, from the other side

These platforms document Archil on their own sites:

Data portability

A disk synchronized with your own bucket stores every file as a normal object in that bucket. List it with any S3 tool, for example aws s3 ls s3://<your-bucket>/ --recursive, and it stays readable without Archil. See Data sources. Archil-managed disks use Archil’s own storage format, so copy their files out through a mount or the S3 API.
