We are thrilled to share some monumental news with our community today. RustFS has officially been recognized in the Runa Capital Open Source Software (ROSS) Index for the fourth quarter of 2025!
A Prestigious Recognition
The ROSS Index, curated by Runa Capital, tracks the fastest-growing open-source startups globally. Runa Capital is a powerhouse in the open-source venture capital space, with an incredible track record of backing industry titans such as:
- ClickHouse (The high-performance analytical database)
- Nginx (The engine behind the modern web)
- MariaDB (The backbone of many enterprise data layers)
To be listed alongside the next generation of open-source innovators is not just an honor; it is a validation of the hard work our contributors and users have put into making RustFS a reality.
Our Mission: Accelerating AI Infrastructure
This recognition comes at a pivotal time. As the demand for AI continues to scale, the bottleneck is increasingly becoming the storage layer. At RustFS, we are committed to building the most efficient AI Infrastructure (AI Infra) possible.
We are doubling down on our technical roadmap to push the boundaries of performance:
- Deep NVIDIA DPU Integration: Offloading storage tasks to Data Processing Units to free up host CPUs for AI workloads.
- Native RDMA Support: Utilizing Remote Direct Memory Access to achieve ultra-low latency and massive throughput.
- Global Speed: Ensuring that AI training and inference workloads have the high-speed data access they require, no matter the scale.
Thank You!
We want to extend a massive thank you to Runa Capital for the recognition and, more importantly, to you—our community. Whether you have contributed code, reported bugs, or shared our vision, you are the reason RustFS is climbing the charts.
We are just getting started. Let’s build the future of AI storage together.
Stay tuned for more updates!
