We’ve done some fairly extensive testing internally recently and found that Garage is somewhat easier to deploy, but is not as performant at high speeds. IIRC we could push about 5 gigabits of (not small) GET requests out of it, but something blocked it from reaching the 20-25 gigabits (on a 25g NIC) that MinIO could reach (also 50k STAT requests/s)

I don’t begrudge it that. I get the impression that Garage isn’t necessarily focussed on this kind of use case.
