I don’t understand why everyone wants to replicate AWS APIs for things that are not AWS.
S3 is a horrible interface with a terrible lack of features. It’s just file storage without any of the benefits of a file syste - no metadata, no directory structures, no ability to search, sort, or filter.
Combine that with high latency network file access and an overly verbose API. You literally have a bucket for storing files, when you used to have a toolbox with drawers, folders, and labels.
Replicating a real file system is not that hard, and when you lose the original reason for using a bucket —- because your were stuck in the swamp with nothing else to carry your files in — why keep using it when you’re out of the mud?
