I wrote an S3 client in Rust that outruns aws-cli. Please tear it apart.
Hey all, a few months ago I got curious and wrote an S3 client in Rust. To my own surprise it ended up faster than mc, s5cmd and aws-cli at uploading to the self-hosted backends I tested (MinIO, SeaweedFS and Garage), and about level with mc on downloads. I have written a technical blog here, I am still a newbie when it comes to this stuff so bear with me: https://jaeaeich.com/writing/s3z. Please read or listen to it, the benchmarks were only run locally, so I'm sure there's plenty to poke at, and I'd really value hearing what I got wrong or could have done better.
