" summary

OpenStack Swift is an eventually consistent, HTTP REST object store that runs on commodity hardware and uses 3x replication or erasure coding, consistent-hash rings and partitioned placement to scale to thousands of nodes and 100+ PB at public providers. It uses proxies, middleware (container-sync, SSE, encryption) and pre-signed temp URLs for browser uploads, supports single-node dev setups and Ansible automation, requires SSDs for container DBs, and warns against >10 million objects per container due to performance and eventual-listing delays.
