Terrific to see native object storage in Hetzner. I think object storage is become a staple for most providers now.

I can see that Hetzner is starting with WORM capabilities [0]. I wonder if this nascent product is successful they'll consider some of the features that other providers offer such as mutating objects, storage policies, tiering, and conditional writes. I appreciate you've got to start somewhere and this looks terrific for an opening gambit. Kudos Hetzner.

[0] > Object Storage is mainly used to store and share data as it is not possible to edit any data that you uploaded to a Bucket (objects are immutable). So the main purpose of Object Storage is "WORM", which is short for, "Write once, read many [times]".

My only hope is that they won't make it more complex than it should be in an effort to match AWS.

Every provider virtually has to mirror AWS. The S3 API is the standard at this point. Nobody will switch if they need to replace all their code.
For mutating object storage aws followed minio .

You can see it in the minio repo and issues .
