RustFS Main Features¶

• Memory safety and reliability: Thanks to Rust's strict memory ownership system, the compiler eliminates entire classes of vulnerabilities during the coding stage: buffer overflows, use-after-free, and data races.
• Predictable performance without Garbage Collection (GC): Unlike MinIO (written in Go), which may experience micro-pauses (jitter) due to garbage collection under high load, RustFS does not use GC. This ensures stable and low latency even with thousands of concurrent requests.
• High speed with small objects: According to tests, RustFS can be up to 2.3 times faster than MinIO when performing operations with small objects (e.g., 4 KB in size).
• Full S3 API compatibility: The system supports a wide range of S3 operations: bucket creation, multipart upload, object versioning, server-side encryption, WORM compliance (protection against deletion), and flexible access policies (IAM). This allows the use of familiar tools (AWS CLI, boto3, MinIO Client mc) without changing application code.
• Distributed architecture without a single point of failure: RustFS does not use a dedicated central metadata server. Data and metadata are distributed evenly across all cluster nodes using Erasure Coding algorithms (e.g., Reed-Solomon).
• Resource efficiency: Thanks to zero-cost abstractions in Rust, the system consumes less RAM and CPU time. This makes it an excellent choice for deployment on low-end hardware, edge devices, or in compact home/office clusters.
• No hidden telemetry: RustFS does not collect or send usage data ("phone home"), which is critical for compliance with corporate security policies and regulatory standards such as GDPR or data localization requirements.

Deployment Features¶

Getting Started After RustFS Deployment¶

After the order is paid, a notification will be sent to the email address provided during registration once the server is ready. It will contain the VPS IP address, as well as the login and password for connection. Customers can manage their hardware in the server control panel and API — Invapi.

• Link to access the MinIO web interface control panel: in the webpanel tag;
• Account: root;
• Key: sent to your email (your server password).

After successfully logging into the panel, you can create buckets, assign policies, and manage user settings. You can also monitor your system processes.

To view the current system status, go to the Running Status section.

Ordering RustFS via API¶

To install this software using the API, follow these instructions.
