Judgement

What it is

Building block

What it does

An S3-compatible distributed object store in Rust using io_uring and its own indexing engine, aiming at very low latency similar to S3 Express One Zone.

Adopt it when

You want to benchmark a high-performance object store for AI workloads before committing to MinIO or similar.

Watch out

The project describes itself as beta, it has no releases, and it is just over a year old.
