RustFS
High-Performance S3 Object Storage for AI & Cloud-Native
RustFS is an open-source, Apache 2.0-licensed distributed object storage system built in Rust. A fast, memory-safe, S3-compatible object store engineered for AI workloads, data-intensive applications, and seamless migration from legacy object storage platforms.
Built for the next generation of object storage
Rust-native engineering, Apache 2.0 licensing, and S3 compatibility for AI infrastructure and seamless MinIO migration workflows.
High-Performance
Built in Rust for low overhead on the data path with parallel I/O and distributed architecture.
S3-Compatible
Drop-in compatibility with AWS SDKs, S3-aware tools, and existing workflows.
Memory-Safe & Secure
Rust core delivers memory safety with self-hosted control, IAM, encryption, and audit features.
Scalable & Available
Distributed design avoids single points of failure with horizontal and vertical scaling.
Advanced Erasure Coding
Flexible Reed-Solomon erasure coding balances efficiency, overhead, and durability.
Open Source
Apache 2.0 licensed with predictable operations and no vendor lock-in.
Production-ready distributed object storage
Everything you need for high-performance, secure, and scalable S3-compatible storage.
Data Plane Performance
Parallel I/O path in Rust delivers low-latency, high-throughput object storage for data-intensive workloads.
S3 API Compatibility
Works with AWS SDKs, MinIO tools, and any S3-aware analytics, backup, observability, or AI pipeline.
Self-Hosted Control
Full control plane stays with you — no phoning home, with IAM, encryption, and configurable audit features.
Erasure Coding
Configurable Reed-Solomon profiles for durability and storage efficiency tailored to each workload.
Production Ready
GA release with active development, enterprise support path, and proven deployments at scale.
AI Infrastructure Ready
Built for AI workloads with ongoing work on RDMA support and DPU offload for erasure coding and encryption.
Built for modern data workloads
AI & Machine Learning
High-throughput object storage for training datasets, model artifacts, and inference pipelines.
Data Lakes & Analytics
S3-compatible storage for Spark, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, and modern data stacks.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Reliable, scalable object storage for backups with long-term retention and efficient recovery.
Cloud-Native Applications
Drop-in replacement for legacy object stores in Kubernetes and containerized environments.
RustFS vs. Legacy Object Storage
Choose RustFS when memory safety, S3 compatibility, open licensing, and predictable operations matter more than vendor lock-in.
| Feature | RustFS | Legacy Object Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Memory Safety | Memory-safe implementation in Rust | Depends on runtime and implementation discipline |
| License | Business-friendly Apache 2.0 license | License terms can restrict commercial redistribution |
| S3 Compatibility | S3 API compatibility for common object-storage workflows | S3 behavior can differ across products and gateways |
| Control Plane | Self-hosted control plane with no phoning home | Telemetry and logging may leave local control boundaries |
| Platform Support | Broad multi-architecture support | Platform coverage often depends on separate editions |
