Many cloud providers offer S3-compatible storage, so it’s a common protocol to use in applications. There are even some databases like SlateDB that fully rely on object storage for everything. Being able to have local S3 compatible storage is useful if you want the storage of your local machine while still doing so over a widely compatible protocol.
A quick web search shows slatedb supports WebDAV through Rust’s object_store interface, or at least it does at first glance.
WebDAV is a wonderful standard and it is compatible with all kinds of things that seem to be overlooked. S3 has turned into this monster of a thing that’s “owned” by AWS vs a nice usable RFC that anybody can implement and know if it actually changes.
