## What it is
VaultS3 is a lightweight, S3-compatible object storage server written in Go, shipped as a single binary with a built-in web dashboard, encryption at rest, erasure coding, and Raft clustering. It positions itself as a self-hosted alternative to MinIO with no paywalled features, idling in roughly 17 MB of RAM.

## Use cases
- self-host s3-compatible object storage
- replace minio without paying for a console
- run lightweight object storage on a small vps or homelab
- store backups with encryption at rest and versioning
- serve files to aws sdk, aws cli, rclone, or boto3
- host multi-tenant storage with per-bucket encryption keys
- query csv and parquet objects with sql without downloading them
- scan uploads for viruses before storing them

## When to choose
- you want a single-binary, low-memory s3 server with a management ui included
- you were burned by minio's move of features behind paid tiers
- you need encryption at rest, per-bucket keys, or crypto-shredding for multi-tenant isolation
- you want oidc sso, audit logs, and virus scanning built in
- you run small-to-medium deployments where a one-person project's risk is acceptable

## When to avoid
- you need vendor or company support guarantees for critical production data
- you require massive-scale, multi-datacenter distributed storage like seaweedfs or ceph
- agpl-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your usage
- you prefer a project with a large maintainer team and long track record
