Apache 2.0 foundation
Open-source licensing keeps adoption, redistribution, and commercial deployment straightforward.
Object storage built for Rust-native infrastructure
RustFS is a next-generation Apache 2.0 distributed object storage system built in Rust for S3-compatible and AI data center workloads.
GitHub stars and Docker Hub pulls use the same homepage metrics helpers: 30,530 GitHub stars as of August 1, 2026 and 7,166,727 Docker Hub pulls as of August 1, 2026. The homepage ticker can refresh those two counts. Deployments stay at 2,700,000+, the figure in the September 16, 2026 GA announcement and on the homepage. Dated star milestones stay in the timeline below.
A storage foundation that stays open, self-hosted, and programmable
RustFS manages object, bucket, IAM, lifecycle, and cluster workflows and provides S3 API compatibility for common object-storage workflows. It is not identical to every AWS S3 or MinIO API. Configure the endpoint and validate the operations you depend on.
S3-compatible surface
Applications can use familiar S3 clients while RustFS owns the storage layer. Confirm the operations you need against the S3 protocol docs.
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.
