Looks interesting for something like local development. I don't intend to run production object storage myself, but some of the stuff in the guide to the production setup (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/cookbook/real-w...) would scare me a bit:

> For the metadata storage, Garage does not do checksumming and integrity verification on its own, so it is better to use a robust filesystem such as BTRFS or ZFS. Users have reported that when using the LMDB database engine (the default), database files have a tendency of becoming corrupted after an unclean shutdown (e.g. a power outage), so you should take regular snapshots to be able to recover from such a situation.

It seems like you can also use SQLite, but a default database that isn't robust against power failure or crashes seems suprising to me.
