Apache OpenDAL™ Rust Core: One Layer, All Storage.

Apache OpenDAL™ is an Open Data Access Layer that enables seamless interaction with diverse storage services.

Installation

cargo add opendal

Each service is a feature flag. The in-memory service is always available; enable any other service with its services-* feature, e.g. features = ["services-s3"].

Quickstart

use opendal::services;
use opendal::Operator;
use opendal::Result;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Configure a service, then build an operator from it.
    let op = Operator::new(services::Memory::default())?;

    // The same verbs work on every service.
    op.write("hello.txt", "Hello, World!").await?;
    let bytes = op.read("hello.txt").await?;
    let meta = op.stat("hello.txt").await?;
    op.delete("hello.txt").await?;

    println!("read {} bytes", meta.content_length());
    Ok(())
}

To use a real backend, swap Memory for another service and configure it — the operations stay identical. See Getting started and Connecting to your storage.

Services

OpenDAL talks to 50+ backends through one API. A selection by category:

Type	Services
Standard Protocols	ftp, http, sftp, webdav
Object Storage	s3, gcs, azblob, oss, cos, obs, b2, vercel-blob, …
File Storage	fs, hdfs, azdls, azfile, webhdfs, ipfs, …
Consumer Cloud Storage	gdrive, onedrive, dropbox, aliyun-drive, koofr, …
Key-Value & Database	redis, etcd, tikv, rocksdb, sqlite, postgresql, mongodb, …
Cache	memcached, moka, mini-moka, ghac, vercel-artifacts

See Services for the full list and each service's configuration keys.

Layers

Wrap an operator with layers to add retry, logging, timeout, metrics, and other cross-cutting behavior without touching your storage code. Retry, logging, timeout, and concurrency limit are built in:

use opendal::layers::RetryLayer;

let op = op.layer(RetryLayer::new());

See Going to production and the layers module.

Branding

The first and most prominent mentions must use the full form: Apache OpenDAL™ of the name for any individual usage (webpage, handout, slides, etc.) Depending on the context and writing style, you should use the full form of the name sufficiently often to ensure that readers clearly understand the association of both the OpenDAL project and the OpenDAL software product to the ASF as the parent organization.
