MinIO Stops Maintaining Popular Storage Software
📰 What Happened
MinIO announced it will no longer maintain its popular open-source storage software on GitHub. The company archived the repository on February 13, 2026, making it read-only. The project had over 60,000 stars and 7,000 forks from developers around the world. MinIO was widely used as a high-performance storage system that works with Amazon S3.
💡 Why It Matters
Many companies and developers rely on MinIO to store and manage their data. When software stops being maintained, it means no more bug fixes or security updates. This affects businesses that built their systems using MinIO. They will need to find new solutions or figure out how to maintain the code themselves.
🔮 What Happens Next
Companies using MinIO must decide if they will keep the old code, maintain it themselves, or switch to new software. Developers may create a new community-maintained version of the project.
