RustFS 1.0 Is GA After 2.5 Years: What's Actually Production-Ready, and What Isn't

On September 16, 2026, RustFS 1.0.0 was released—a distributed object storage with an S3-compatible API written in Rust under the Apache 2.0 license. The core engine (PUT, GET, multipart, versioning, replication) is deemed stable for production; the project has gained 32,000+ GitHub stars and 2.7 million deployed instances.

• 32,000+ GitHub stars and 10 million Docker Hub image downloads
• 2.7 million deployed instances and 160+ contributors
• S3 Tables based on Iceberg still in preview, not GA
• Supports Swift API, WebDAV, FTPS, and SFTP besides S3
