What is RustFS?

RustFS is a high-performance, distributed object storage solution designed for simplicity and efficiency. Fully compatible with the S3 protocol, it is open-source software released under the Apache 2.0 license. Built with Rust, RustFS leverages industry-leading memory safety and zero-cost abstractions to deliver exceptional performance.

RustFS is a commercially-friendly product built by a global community of engineers. It serves as a modern alternative to legacy object storage solutions, offering a robust platform for data-intensive applications.

RustFS is transitioning from commercial roots to a fully open-source model, aiming to democratize high-performance storage and enhance data security globally.

Operating System and CPU Support

RustFS runs on almost any CPU and operating system, including Linux, Unix, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, and Docker, as well as edge gateways. Supported CPU architectures: x86, ARM, and others.
