A storage system having nodes with light weight containers is disclosed by the present invention. The storage system includes: at least one cluster, having a number of nodes linked to one another, each node having: a node host, operated by a storage operating system, and installed with a number of service containers, which are used for providing specific services to clients and/or operations of the node out of the service containers; and at least one node storage device, operated by the storage operating system, for providing storing and accessing of data for the service containers; and a messaging module, linked to each node host, for bridging the node hosts and/or node hosts in different clusters. Coarse-grained REST APIs are used for communication between any two service containers to reduce chatty communication in the storage system.
