### What we like

Makes S3-compatible buckets appear as POSIX filesystems or raw block devices. Supports NFS, 9P, NBD. Use ZFS to mirror across regions. Segments are immutable, compressed, encrypted. Local caching. Optional web dashboard and file manager.

### Tradeoffs

AGPL licensed by default, alternative available on a commercial basis.
