This is an interesting write up, but I'm curious about the use case. If you don't need to scale, and you don't need to replicate anything, what do you want S3? Are you using a tool that wants to write to something S3-like? Do you just like reading and writing objects via HTTP POST and GET? Are you moving an app to or from the cloud?

I only recently realized how much I like using Cloudflare more than AWS :) R2 (their version of S3) is no exception. Much more pleasant figuring out how to use and configure it in Cloudflare than the craziness inside AWS.
I think we get a "S3 clone" about once every week or two on the Golang reddit.
It strikes me as a classic case of "we need all the interested people to pull in one project, not each start their own". AI may have made this worse then ever.

Sounds like you want S4. Super simple storage service.

Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs. You walk into a video store and you see 8 minute abs and 7 minutes abs. Which one are you gonna buy?

Garage "unnecessarily complex" . If anything it's the simplest solution in the list especially compared to Ceph or Apache Ozone

I think only "complex" thing in garage is the layout which only matters if you're doing distributed mode.

Tried setting up rustfs today. It was easier that garagehq and it even comes with UI.

100% - i really wanted Render to add this, feels like there is potential for a startup here
I think the post author is mainly addressing self-hostable and/or open-source options here - otherwise I'd expect a whole host of other commercial storage providers to have been mentioned!

Based on the list of contenders feels like you might be missing rsync.net?

microceph is pretty nice and straightforward for throwaway s3 endpoints
Has anyone that has set up microceph determined the overhead of the required multiple OSDs? The docs make it sound scary, but it's not clear if that's because people run it on a Pi with an sdcard for block storage or because someone once ran 18TB of OSDs in production that then fell over.

So use S3.

While not obvious from the article, it appears that they want something S3 like, but isn’t from Amazon, and possibly want to self host it. The article could be much more clear about the goals

Ah, thanks. Yeah I was confused because in his long list of vendors he didn't mention Wasabi, Backblaze etc. It appears that I do not know the context of his post.

or cloudflare R2 for that matter (very useful for egress-heavy workloads for which it is ~free)
