# S3-Compatible

High-performance S3-compatible object storage

MinIO is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage server designed for AI, machine learning, and data-intensive workloads. Written in Go, it delivers industry-leading throughput for both read and write operations while maintaining full compatibility with the Amazon S3 API. MinIO includes an embedded web console for bucket management, a command-line client, and supports erasure coding, bitrot protection, and encryption at rest for enterprise-grade data durability.

High-performance S3-compatible object storage built in Rust

RustFS is an open-source distributed object storage system built entirely in Rust, offering 2.3x faster performance than MinIO for small object payloads. It provides full S3 API compatibility, enabling seamless migration from MinIO, Ceph, and AWS S3 with existing SDKs and CLI tools. Released under Apache 2.0 license, it avoids MinIO's restrictive AGPL terms. Features include distributed architecture, erasure coding, WORM compliance, encryption via RustyVault, and a web management console.
