RustFS official

High-performance, reliable, and cost-efficient storage built for the AI era.

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

Tired of MinIO? Abandoned by maintainers, riddled with unpatched CVEs, and the license is a legal landmine.

You're not alone — and there's a way out.

RustFS is the drop-in replacement you've been waiting for:
→ Same S3 API. Zero code changes.
→ Apache 2.0. No licensing surprises.
→ Actively maintained, security built in.
→ Up to 2.3x faster.
→ Just swap the binary and go.
Beta is out now. https://t.co/PF00vfHNQZ

This S3 Alternative is INSANELY Lightweight (and 100% open source) https://t.co/2BmTv86qRz via @YouTube

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

The AI era demands better, faster storage. ⚡️

We’re proud to share that RustFS has joined the @NVIDIA Inception program! Together, we’re redefining high-performance storage for large-scale AI training & agents.

A seamless, highly-efficient alternative to MinIO is here. Transitioning from Alpha to Beta later this month! 🔥

Big update for Laravel Herd! Version 1.27 is out now, featuring RustFS for local S3-compatible storage. Check it out at https://t.co/SRpRJEYQIB We’d love to hear your feedback!

[Marcel Pociot 🧪 @marcelpociot]

We just released @laravelphp Herd 1.27!
It adds support for RustFS as a local S3 compatible storage service as well as various bugfixes and improvements

https://t.co/CllUjIYFIW

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

So glad to see @marcelpociot bringing RustFS into Laravel Herd as the go-to MinIO alternative!
We built RustFS for high IOPS and storage efficiency—exactly what’s needed for a fast, lightweight local dev experience.
Seeing it baked right into a tool like Herd is a massive milestone for us. Let us know how it runs for you! Can’t wait to see what the Laravel community builds with this.

[Marcel Pociot 🧪 @marcelpociot]

The next Laravel Herd update brings RustFS as a well-maintained MinIO alternative 🫡

MinIO's open-source repo is archived, but your legacy instances don't have to be. With RustFS 1.0.0-alpha.87, you can now migrate via Direct Binary Replacement.
✅ Reuse existing storage infrastructure
✅ Keep your S3 workflows
✅ Zero data movement required
Swap the binary, keep the data.

Want to build a lightweight RAG chatbot from scratch?

Check this post on pairing @milvusio with @RustFSofficial for a seamless and quick setup. High performance without the infra headache.

[Milvus @milvusio]

MinIO stopped accepting community contributions. A Milvus community member tried replacing it with RustFS. He ended up building a full RAG chatbot from scratch with surprising ease:

• 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮 (𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲): Milvus + RustFS (S3-compatible, written in Rust) + etcd + Attu. One config change to replace MinIO.

• 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲: 80 Markdown docs → chunked → embedded with text-embedding-3-large → 466 vectors in Milvus.

𝗥𝗔𝗚 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲:
• Query gets embedded
• Milvus retrieves top 3 chunks via cosine similarity
• GPT generates a grounded answer
• FastAPI backend, Next.js chat UI

All vibe-coded, all open source.

Thanks to Jinghe Ma for the contribution. Published with permission.

RustFS 1.0.0-alpha.84 is out!

This release is a major structural shift as we move toward a stable 1.0. We’ve moved away from global statics and fully modularized our internal handlers—making the engine leaner and much easier to scale.

1️⃣ S3 Select (SQL on JSON): Native support for querying data at the edge—reducing latency and egress costs.
2️⃣ 98% S3 API Compatibility: With 145+ new tests passed, we are reaching near-total parity with the industry standard.
3️⃣ Hardened Logic Security: Critical fixes to IAM and quota authorization logic to ensure enterprise-grade isolation.
Also in this release:
🔹 OIDC & Keystone: Full SSO integration for complex orgs.
🔹 Global Lock Manager: Significant performance gains in concurrent workloads.
🔹 Observability: Enhanced Grafana dashboards for production monitoring.

@nanovms Thanks for the spotlight and test! Let us know if there’s any further feedback we can address.

[NanoVMs @nanovms]

this week on the unikernel application spotlight we stand up a s3 obj storage substitute written in rust via @RustFSofficial https://t.co/sQ3MTjd596

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

Thanks for the honest feedback. We really appreciate you pointing this out. As a small team, we’ve been heads-down and 100% focused on the engineering side of RustFS. You’re right—the visual identity needs to match the reliability we’re pledging. We’ll definitely pay more attention to our branding and how we present our message from now on.

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

Reliability isn’t just about code; it’s about commitment. 🦀

In light of recent industry shifts, the RustFS team is officially pledging to keep our core repository PERMANENTLY OPEN-SOURCE. Your data deserves a foundation that won't disappear. Join us in building the future of storage. 🚀

#RustLang #OpenSource #Storage #RustFS #DataInfrastructure

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

Yes, that’s exactly the point of this commitment. We are officially pledging to keep the RustFS core engine permanently open-source. We won't be closing the source or switching to a restrictive license for the core repo. We’re committed to an open-core model that actually stays open for the community.

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

2025 was a year of massive progress for AI Infra, but it exposed a painful reality: Storage I/O is now the primary bottleneck, severely slowing down algorithm iteration.

The time of optimizing layers in isolation is over. ‘Algorithm-Data-Infrastructure Co-design’ is the new standard.

Excellent tools like @SpiralDB (Vortex) do fantastic work optimizing the compute node, but even the best loaders need a foundation that doesn't choke.

RustFS is aimed to handle the ‘last mile’ of data delivery so the application layer can finally run at full speed. Rust-native, fast write, and fully open!

@twismiko Thanks for bringing this up! The object locks issue has actually been fixed already. Please refer to this PR: https://t.co/UHhmZvONPK

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

🎉 HUGE MILESTONE: RustFS just hit 20K GitHub Stars! ⭐
We are building the next generation of Cloud-Native & AI-Native high-performance object storage.

Thank you to our community. We are just getting started.

Huge thanks to @zilliz_universe for the detailed benchmark!

In just 6 months since open-sourcing, we prioritized our v1 architecture on stability and ingestion throughput. Thanks for the validation on the write/cost side!

[Zilliz @zilliz_universe]

@Minio 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞. So if you're running Milvus, that's worth paying attention to.

Tested @RustFSofficial as a potential drop-in replacement. It's Rust-based, implements the same S3 API, and uses Apache 2.0 licensing.

𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭:
→ Writes are 57% faster
→ Storage footprint cut nearly in half
→ But query latency is ~4x slower than MinIO

RustFS shows real promise for write-heavy or cost-sensitive workloads, but for query-intensive production use, MinIO or cloud object storage is still the safer choice.

Great list, @rmoff ! Appreciate you including @RustFSOfficial in your list of local S3 alternatives: https://t.co/REt42nrQIa
Just a quick heads-up for anyone looking: all recent security vulns are now fully resolved.
Stay tuned for our upcoming release and more!

[RustFS official @RustFSofficial]

Yes — we updated the intro on our landing page after listening to community feedback.

We believe in Rust because of what it gives us in practice: zero GC, strong compile-time guarantees, predictable performance, and memory safety — not because it magically makes software “100% secure.” Memory safety and logic safety are still different things.

The goal isn’t to use Rust as a marketing keyword, but to share what we’ve actually learned and gained by building RustFS in it.

In the end, a good product has to survive real-world testing by developers. If you’ve tried RustFS locally, we’d love to see your results and performance feedback.
