extfuse VS mountpoint-s3

FUSE does not work well with a large number of small files (due to high metadata ops such as inode/dentry lookups).

ExtFUSE (optimized FUSE with eBPF) [1] can offer you a high performance. It caches metadata in the kernel to avoid lookups in user space.

... or does "S3 file system" mean https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3 - a Rust project by AWS Labs that provides "a simple, high-throughput file client for mounting an Amazon S3 bucket as a local file system" ?

Looks like support for S3 Express was merged in with version 1.30 just a few hours ago https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3/pull/642

mountpoint-s3 is AWS’ first party solution for mounting s3 buckets as file systems: https://github.com/awslabs/mountpoint-s3

Haven’t used it but it looks cool, if a bit immature.

This might be useful with a MinIO server, although not directly supported
