Our software is published under the AGPLv3 license and comes with no guarantee, like any other FOSS project (if you do not pay for support). We are considering our software as "public beta" quality, so we think it works well, at least for us.

On the plus side, it survived Hacker News Hug of Death. Indeed, the website we linked is hosted on our own Garage cluster made of old Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 (with Intel Pentium G3420 and 8GB of RAM) and the cluster seems fine. We also host more than 100k objects in our Matrix (a chat service) bucket.

On the minus side, this is the first time we have so much coverage, so our software has not yet been tested by thousands of people. It is possible that in the near future, some edge cases we never triggered are reported. This is the reason why most people wait that an application reaches a certain level of adoption before using it, in other words they don't want to pay "the early adopter cost".

In the end, it's up to you :-)

Awesome. Are you using the matrix-media-repo to connect the Matrix homeserver to Garage?

No, we are simply using synapse-s3-storage-provider: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse-s3-storage-provider
