Object storage built for Rust-native infrastructure

RustFS is a next-generation Apache 2.0 distributed object storage system built in Rust. It has surpassed 30,000 GitHub stars, 3 million Docker Hub pulls, and 1.5 million global instances across S3-compatible and AI data center workloads.

A storage foundation that stays open, self-hosted, and programmable

RustFS manages object, bucket, IAM, lifecycle, and cluster workflows while keeping 100% native S3 compatibility stable for existing tools and applications.

Apache 2.0 foundation

Open-source licensing keeps adoption, redistribution, and commercial deployment straightforward.

S3-compatible surface

Applications keep speaking the same object storage protocol while RustFS owns the storage layer.

AI infrastructure path

Native RDMA, DPU acceleration, and hardware encryption are core directions for future data center workloads.

Operator-first control

Console, rc CLI, and telemetry workflows are designed for teams that run their own storage.
