#2I don't understand what is this about.
Re: Show HN: Minimalist Object Storage Project
#3While the concept is interesting, it hasn't built the only real detail that matters from an Object Store perspective:
Cheap, Multi-Datacenter, Performant, Highly Available storage.
"YAS3I" / Yet-Another-S3-Implementation isn't really compelling even if it is open source.
I can pull that out of https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift/APIFeatureComparison#A...
if I really need that.

#4Why not just use Swift?
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/
It can be run as a stand alone app so it's generally pretty simple and can include support from https://swiftstack.com/.

How do you run it?

Why the downvotes? I am genuinely curious also, but there is next to nothing in terms of details (uses cases and such) on their site!

First time I'm seeing Swift.
Are there use cases where Swift is a better fit than Cassandra?

We are in an early stage, we will have a distributed version by end of this year.
It isn't about "YAS3I". It isn't compatible just for the compatibility sake.
Minio implementation is opinionated: "There is only one way to do it". Given a choice between Amazon S3 and OpenStack SwiftAPI compatibility, we picked Amazon S3. As SwiftAPI gains adoption, we may switch over to SwiftAPI, but will have to drop S3 then. Let the community decide.

Tiny piece of advice, declaring a possible total revamp of the API as soon as you launch might not be the best way to attract early users.
