RustFS official

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. Read how: rustfs.dev/binary-replace… #RustFS #DevOps #S3 #ObjectStorage #OpenSource

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.

this week on the unikernel application spotlight we stand up a s3 obj storage substitute written in rust via @RustFSofficial youtube.com/watch?v=qHgpm9…

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.

@RustFSofficial The AI generated imagery works against the craftsmanship you’re putting into this project. It signals ‘quick and cheap’ at first glance, which contradicts the reliability and commitment you’re pledging. A more considered visual identity would make this message land stronger.

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

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.

@RustFSofficial Could this commitment prevents us from future MinIO-like situation?

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! Check out our latest release (v1.0.0-alpha.83): 🔗 github.com/rustfs/rustfs/… #AI #Infrastructure #RustFS #OpenSource #Vortex #SpiralDB

Honored to see Rustfs ranked #10 in the Q4 2025 @RunaCapital ROSS Index! 🏆 This milestone belongs to our amazing community. But more than just stars, it’s a validation of our vision: building the world’s most performant Cloud-native & AI-native distributed storage system. Read more: runacap.com/ross-index/q4-…

@twismiko Thanks for bringing this up! The object locks issue has actually been fixed already. Please refer to this PR: github.com/rustfs/rustfs/…

Rustfs，オブジェクトロックが効かず、ロックだなーと思ったらissueが上がっててニコニコ

🎉 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. Check out the repo: github.com/rustfs/rustfs #RustLang #AIInfrastructure #HPC #VectorDB #CloudNative #OpenSource

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!

Great list, @rmoff ! Appreciate you including @RustFSOfficial in your list of local S3 alternatives: rmoff.net/2026/01/14/alt… Just a quick heads-up for anyone looking: all recent security vulns are now fully resolved. Stay tuned for our upcoming release and more!

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.

@valigo "RustFS is written in Rust, a memory-safe language, so it is 100% secure" pity they removed it from their docs. github.com/rustfs/docs.ru…

rustfs - S3-compatible storage written in Rust, has 20k stars on github - had a hardcoded authentication token in both client and the server since September 2024. It got 9.8 CVE assigned to it, and only patched out a week ago. Even Rust can't protect you from vibecoders.

We appreciate the feedback and seriously consider every issue reported. The post above should explain the details about the major concerns related to the gRPC auth situation. As a new open-source project, we are working hard to iterate fast and onward to GA. We encourage you to test the latest version from your local env and share your results.

@RustFSofficial @valigo This is literally the most AI-generated reply I have seen in ages. Not a good look

📢 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/… 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. 🦀🚀 #RustFS #RustLang #OpenSource #Security #DistributedSystems

🎉 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. #Rust #RustLang #S3 #ObjectStorage #AIInfra #OSS

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: qiita.com/kaliafluorido/… For questions about RustFS performance vs. others, this August benchmark is a helpful reference: repoflow.io/blog/benchmark… #RustFS #OpenSource #ObjectStorage #RustLang #AIInfrastructure
