| 6 | +# What is RustFS? |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +RustFS is a simple, efficient, and distributed object storage. |
| 9 | +At the same time, it is also an efficient, open-source, and free object storage solution. It is 100% compatible with the S3 protocol and is open-source software released under the Apache2 license. RustFS is written in the currently most popular and memory-safe language, Rust. |
| 10 | +It is a commercial-friendly distributed object storage product developed and contributed by excellent engineers from around the world. RustFS can replace many object storage products with unfriendly open-source licenses. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +RustFS will soon transition from commercial applications to open source and be released globally, helping the world reduce storage costs and improve data security. |
