I've been spending what free time I have on this. It started out as a curious project to learn Go and to prove that a useful and good s3fs like project can be done relatively quickly. These days it's used by companies moving PBs of storage into S3 to research labs trying to analysis RNA sequences with 100s of machines.
A couple things I hope to get done this year:
* a reasonably easy way to use it in conjunction of docker
* a reasonably easy way to expose this over NFS/CIFS (for devices/OSes that don't support fuse)
* a reasonably easy way to do caching
A bigger vision is to build more things on top of relatively commoditized web services so free software can adapt to the 21st century without a large operating budget.
