AI data stacks basically run on S3 Tables Iceberg now. The community demand has been insane, so we’re open-sourcing it.
RustFS S3 Table incoming. 👀🦀🚀

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. rustfs.dev/announcing-rustfs…

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! 🔥

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.

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.
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.
Full walkthrough with config and code: milvus.io/blog/milvus-rustfs…
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.

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. 🚀

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!

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!

@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: rmoff.net/2026/01/14/alterna…
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 Announcement: Security Update — Transparency & Action
We believe trust is earned through transparency and speed. We have resolved the authentication vulnerability (CVE-2024-XXXX) reported recently. The patch is live and effective immediately. 🔗 Advisory: github.com/rustfs/rustfs/sec…
Engineering perspective: Rust gives us unparalleled memory safety, but building a distributed object storage system requires rigorous system design to ensure logical security. This is where our team's expertise lies.
On AI & tooling: We use AI as a support tool for code review, and vulnerability scanning—similar to how it’s used across the industry. We’re strengthening these pipelines to catch security-sensitive logic earlier and more reliably.
Our commitment: Security, performance, and reliability remain top priorities. As we approach GA, we’ll publish detailed benchmarks and architecture data to demonstrate the maturity of the system.
Thanks to the community for the scrutiny. Keep testing, keep challenging—we’re listening and moving fast. 🦀🚀

🎉 Happy New Year from RustFS!
2025 marked a major milestone for RustFS as an open-source project. None of this would be possible without our contributors, partners, and early adopters who helped review, test, deploy, and recommend RustFS. Your feedback continues to shape the project.
🎯 Our 2026 mission is clear: progress to GA and reach production-grade readiness—with a strong focus on stability, performance, and operational confidence.
Building long-term, open infrastructure—together.

We’re listening. Community feedback matters, so we’re updating our docs to focus on technical accuracy—not marketing language.
Our choice of Rust was never about buzzwords. It’s about building a storage foundation for the AI era where performance meets safety. Architecture > language. Proud sponsors of the Rust Foundation. 100% Apache 2.0.
Huge thanks to the Japanese community for the deep dive into our implementation patterns, and to @voluntas for the recommendation and for using RustFS in their OSS verification:
