  • seaweedfs

    SeaweedFS is a fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, for billions of files! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, cloud tiering. Filer supports Cloud Drive, cross-DC active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX FUSE mount, S3 API, S3 Gateway, Hadoop, WebDAV, encryption, Erasure Coding.

  • manta

    Manta is a scalable HTTP-based object store (by TritonDataCenter)

  • Are you sure this offers the same S3 compatible API? It sure does look like it rolled its own API[1], which I guess is fine so long as you're entirely in the Triton ecosystem, but makes reusing existing software harder than necessary without that compatibility layer. And that's not even getting into this absolutely mess: https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/manta#repositories it reminds me of the "Microservices" video come to life

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • garage

    (Mirror) S3-compatible object store for small self-hosted geo-distributed deployments. Main repo: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage (by deuxfleurs-org)

  • Seaweed File System

    Discontinued SeaweedFS is a fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, for billions of files! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, cloud tiering. Filer supports Cloud Drive, cross-DC active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX FUSE mount, S3 API, S3 Gateway, Hadoop, WebDAV, encryption, Erasure Coding.

  • Canvas LMS

    The open LMS by Instructure, Inc.

  • No it's not. From a practical standpoint, I'm not even sure how that could work. You would have to require all browsers to be open source AGPL in order to load a web page served by it. By way of analogy it seems the equivalent of requiring the mouse and keyboard firmware to be licensed the same as the operating system.

    A real life example is Instructure, which makes Canvas (which is agpl) but has other proprietary services that interact heavily with it. It's never been a problem

  • riak_cs

    Riak CS is simple, available cloud storage built on Riak.

  • I don’t think development is very active at all now that Basho is dead, but Riak CS is Apache licensed.

  • juicefs

    JuiceFS is a distributed POSIX file system built on top of Redis and S3.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • minio-go

    MinIO Go client SDK for S3 compatible object storage

  • One will observe I said list, not get, although in this case it's likely a non-issue because Minio supports the S3 API https://github.com/minio/minio-go/blob/v7.0.45/api-list.go#L... and thus should support the 2nd example I provided, too
