Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Nexo is a single-binary, S3-compatible object storage server written in Go that includes erasure coding, IAM, encryption, and built-in video streaming (HLS) and responsive image generation via a separate media worker. It stands out for its one-binary simplicity, passing Ceph's s3-tests and MinIO's mint suites, and offering integrated media processing without external tools like ffmpeg. The project targets self-hosted storage needs with a rich web console and operator-friendly features like Prometheus metrics and a Grafana dashboard.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, operators
