VersityGW
S3 gateway that translates S3 API requests to filesystem, Azure Blob, ScoutFS, or other S3 backends.
VersityGW is a high-performance S3 translation gateway that bridges S3-reliant applications with existing storage systems. It translates incoming S3 API requests into equivalent operations on various backend storage systems.
Key Features
- S3 Compatible - Full S3 API compatibility as a translation layer.
- Multiple Backends - Supports POSIX filesystem, ScoutFS, Azure Blob Storage, and other S3 servers.
- Stateless - Multiple instances can be deployed in a cluster for increased throughput.
- Static Website Hosting - Serve S3 buckets as static websites with index documents, custom error pages, and routing rules.
- Web GUI - Optional web interface for administration and file exploration.
- Cross-Platform - Runs on Linux, macOS, BSD, and Windows.
- Lightweight - Simple single-binary deployment.
- POSIX Compatibility - Access files via both POSIX and S3 protocols simultaneously.
Architecture
VersityGW is completely stateless - any request can be serviced by any gateway instance. This allows horizontal scaling behind load balancers for optimal performance. The gateway translates S3 operations to backend-specific calls.
Self-Hosting
Deploy with a single command to turn your filesystem into an S3 server. Multiple backend options allow integration with existing storage infrastructure.
