SeaweedFS

Apache 2.0 distributed file system and object store, shipped as a single weed binary, that exposes S3, POSIX/FUSE, WebDAV, SFTP, HDFS and an Iceberg REST catalog over the same data. Its design packs small files into append-only volume files with a small per-blob index.

Current clusters

SeaweedFS volume servers keep a 16-byte per-blob index in memory for single-seek reads

RustFS gives you an S3 endpoint you start with one docker run, while SeaweedFS gives you a file system that also speaks S3. A dev.to comparison puts the dividing line at POSIX mounts and the count of tiny files.
