+1 on RiakCS. They now call it RiakS2 for kicks. The scalability and reliability of their server is insane. You just can't beat Erlang software in that regard.

Unfortunately, Basho has been so successful with their TSDB and KV products that they have basically put S2 on maintenance mode. They are still "supporting" it, but no new features. I was hoping this Minio tool could do something similar, but with a single daemon is a single point of failure. Unacceptable for serious deployments.

Another interesting project written in Erlang is LeoFS: http://leo-project.net/leofs/
Worth adding that LeoFS is being used in production by Rakuten for years now. Still not a widely known project for some reason.

Considering how many serious deployments still use non-clustered NASs, a single node object store seems equally reasonable.
That sounds pretty nice. If it works does it need new features? :)
