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, 2025, making it read-only. MinIO is a widely-used tool that helps companies store data in a way similar to Amazon's S3 service.
💡 Why It Matters
Many organizations around the world use MinIO to store and manage their data. With no more updates or fixes coming, companies will need to find new solutions or manage the software themselves. This affects businesses that depend on MinIO for their daily operations.
🔮 What Happens Next
Organizations using MinIO must decide whether to switch to new storage systems or maintain the software on their own. Some companies may form community groups to continue development without official MinIO support.
