MinIO Is Dead, Long Live MinIO

Seems like a very balanced take on forking Minio. I don't have high hopes for the future Minio, but as mentioned it is more or less feature complete, good enough for most use-cases.

I was searching for a fairly simple replacement for s3 for testing. I'd been using Minio for a while now, and simply ended up implementing my own on top of Postgres. Fun intersection given the post. (Note, I know it isn't optimal, but as I always have Postgres available it fits well, and I don't have high storage needs, just the api compatibility)

I considered it a while ago, but I wasn't totally clear on Read-After-Write. Which was the primary reason why I choose to just implement my own for testing.

I'll probably give GarageHQ a more serious look again.

For our needs at work (~100TB), buying Pure Storage flash arrays (hardware, software, onsite support) worked out cheaper than MinIO licensing alone.

It is an interesting time we're in right now where buying physical hardware and support is cheaper than a license.

Same goes for AWS markup on rented hardware. ;)

Man I sometimes miss having physical servers.

Pure isn’t exactly an entry level market player either. MinIO’s pricing is on another planet.
