### What we like

Easy to store, retrieve, and serve objects. Replication strategy can be defined when storing an object. Efficient for lots of small objects. Supports tiered storage in the cloud. Optionally supports directories, TTLs, mounting FUSE drives. You can use the API to serve objects publicly. Static (Go) binary.

### Tradeoffs

Using it more than a key/value like object store requires a separate component which uses a database to persist metadata - this can be in-memory (but no persistence) or supports various datastores - but is an extra layer to manage.
