I am using it. It works.
My use case was that I want a way to back up a relatively small number of files in a consistent, persistent way. I also do not want the files on disk to be rewritten into object blobs or something I cannot access directly.
Versity presents an S3 interface to the world, but stores the files directly in the filesystem. This way, if I ever uninstall or move away from Versity, the files are sitting there in the backup for me to access. They're not organized by the backend into some odd shape I would later have to figure out how to decode (in case of emergency).
Depending on your platform, there are not great GUI clients for S3. (CyberDuck on the Mac will work well, Windows I can't speak to, and Linux does not have any that I would trust.) But, there are plenty of command-line tools for S3. Also note, you can't easily "move" files around, because that is not native to the S3 model.
But, all of that said: as a small S3 implementation, Versity has been around for a while, handles large loads (according to their docs), and for me, serves as a simple S3 endpoint on my host.
