+      The Versity S3 Gateway.
+      A high-performance tool facilitating translation between AWS S3 API
+      requests and various backend storage systems, including POSIX file
+      backend storage. Its stateless architecture enables deployment in
+      clusters for increased throughput, distributing requests across gateways
+      for optimal performance. With a focus on modularity, it supports future
+      extensions for additional backend systems.
