Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Raptor provides a novel approach for fast, energy-efficient uploads of small files to S3 by using RaptorQ fountain codes over UDP instead of HTTPS/TCP, avoiding TLS overhead. It includes a CLI tool and a full serverless AWS backend for decoding and reassembly, making it interesting for high-throughput, low-latency scenarios where traditional S3 uploads are inefficient.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
