RustFS Introduction

RustFS is a high-performance, distributed object storage software developed using Rust, the world's most popular memory-safe language. RustFS combines simplicity and efficiency, and is an efficient, open-source, free object storage solution that can be deployed locally as a private cloud. RustFS is 100% compatible with the S3 protocol and is open-source software released under the Apache2 license. RustFS is written in Rust, the world's most popular memory-safe language. It is a commercially-friendly distributed object storage product participated in and contributed by excellent engineers worldwide. RustFS can replace many object storage products with non-friendly open-source licenses.

RustFS is about to transition from commercial applications to open-source, releasing globally to help the world reduce storage costs and improve data security.
