alt Hacker NewsWhy the focus on S3 for a self-hosted app? Anyway kudos for the effort, I'm not experiencing performance issues in my locally self-hosted Immich installation but more performant software is always welcome.

I have and love my self-hosted immich install. If self-hosted could also use S3 storage, that allows me to use Garage (https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage) , which also lets me play games with growable/redundant storage on a pile of second-hand hard drives. IIRC it can only use a mounted block device at the moment, (unless there is a nfs-exposed s3 translator ....)
A lot of existing tooling supports the s3 protocol, so it would simplify the storage picture (no pun intended).
I'm wondering the same thing. He had me until he said "S3".
S3 compatible means one can point it at any storage that talks S3, which is a lot more flexible than POSIX or NFS.
