The benchmark against MinIO is nice, but I don't care much for the table vs. "Other object storage" which seems to try to aggregate all the worst points of all the others with no citation (e.g. why should I believe RustFS has no intellectual property risk but others do? What's different about them to back that up?).

Here an S3 compatibility table https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/reference-manua... comparing

  - GarageFS 
  - OpenStack Swift
  - CEPH Object Gateway Rados
  - Riak CS
  - OpenIO

I'm currently testing for alternatives of minio on my homelab. Ceph was nice, lots of bells and whistles, built in support for virtual IPs is excellent, but on my aging hardware it was using 10-15% CPU in my VM while idle. Currently benchmarking garagefs, scales very well with core count and multi node set up is a breeze.

Garage uses the AGPL v3.0 license, which isn't open source-friendly. Is OpenIO no longer maintained?

GarageFS is supported by NLnet *. NLnet is very Open Soucre minded and sees no objection in supporting it due to the AGPL. Maybe AGPL isn’t that Open Source unfriendly?

And indeed I noticed that OpenIO isn’t updated for quite some time.

This comparison reads like it was written by an adolescent. The first row immediately reminded me of the classic meme[1]
