Garage "unnecessarily complex" . If anything it's the simplest solution in the list especially compared to Ceph or Apache Ozone

I think only "complex" thing in garage is the layout which only matters if you're doing distributed mode.

I think we get a "S3 clone" about once every week or two on the Golang reddit.

It strikes me as a classic case of "we need all the interested people to pull in one project, not each start their own". AI may have made this worse then ever.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

While not obvious from the article, it appears that they want something S3 like, but isn’t from Amazon, and possibly want to self host it. The article could be much more clear about the goals

Ah, thanks. Yeah I was confused because in his long list of vendors he didn't mention Wasabi, Backblaze etc. It appears that I do not know the context of his post.

or cloudflare R2 for that matter (very useful for egress-heavy workloads for which it is ~free)

100% - i really wanted Render to add this, feels like there is potential for a startup here

I think the post author is mainly addressing self-hostable and/or open-source options here - otherwise I'd expect a whole host of other commercial storage providers to have been mentioned!

I only recently realized how much I like using Cloudflare more than AWS :) R2 (their version of S3) is no exception. Much more pleasant figuring out how to use and configure it in Cloudflare than the craziness inside AWS.
