## What it is
VersityGW is a high-performance, Apache-2.0 licensed S3 gateway written in Go that exposes an S3-compatible API backed by a local POSIX filesystem or proxied to other S3 storage. It is a single-binary, stateless server that can be clustered for scale and supports features like static website hosting, a WebGUI, and S3 over RDMA.

## Use cases
- turn my local filesystem into an S3 server
- self-host an S3-compatible object storage endpoint
- serve files over S3 API from a POSIX filesystem
- proxy S3 requests to another S3 backend
- host static websites from S3 buckets
- give S3 access to HPC tape or file archives
- run a lightweight MinIO alternative on my NAS

## When to choose
- you want S3 API access to data on a POSIX filesystem without migrating it
- you need a simple single-binary S3 server that is easy to deploy and cluster
- you need S3 protocol compatibility so files are accessible via both POSIX and S3
- you need high-throughput object transfers such as RDMA/GPUDirect for HPC or AI workloads

## When to avoid
- you need a full distributed object store with built-in erasure coding like MinIO or Ceph
- you need native block or file protocols rather than S3 translation
- you require enterprise support contracts and certifications from the open-source project alone
