Garage

Who it is for

For developers and small teams. It runs on Linux and a computer you control. License: AGPL-3.0. It is in the Object storage group.

What you pay

Free plan: The software is free to run. You pay for the disk and the computer. There is no hosted price on file. Run it yourself: Setup: medium. A single node is enough for a dev stack or a small team. Read the docs before you promise every S3 feature.

How to switch

• Compared with MinIO. Its price on file: The community repo is no longer maintained. New community builds are source only. AIStor is the product MinIO points to.

  What you give up: object lock and lifecycle rules. You only get part of: object versioning and a larger cluster.

  Instead of MinIO7 of 7 checked features. A full score means it matches our checklist. It is not a drop-in replacement.What you give up: object lock and lifecycle rules. You only get part of: object versioning and a larger cluster.The project is an S3-compatible API.A single node can stand in for a local S3 in a dev stack.Check the current docs for the versioning calls you use. Do not assume every MinIO setting copies over.Presigned URLs are part of the S3 API it aims to serve.Do not plan on object lock unless the docs you read say it is there.Lifecycle rules are not the reason to pick Garage.A few nodes is the design. A very large cluster is a different product.
