Building a production-ready S3 replacement requires careful, deliberate and rigorous engineering work (which is what Garage is doing[1]). It&#x27;s not clear if RustFS is even implementing a proper distributed consensus mechanism. Erasure Coding with quorum replication alone is not enough for partition tolerance. I can&#x27;t find anything in their docs. [1]: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.13798</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2302.13798/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
