High-performance, S3-compatible object storage for AI and enterprise workloads
MinIO is an open-source, high-performance object storage system that is fully compatible with the Amazon S3 API. Built for AI datalakes, analytics, backup, and archival workloads, it delivers enterprise-grade features like erasure coding, bit-rot detection, encryption, and active-active replication while running on commodity hardware at exabyte scale.
Full compatibility with the Amazon S3 API, enabling seamless integration with existing tools, frameworks, and applications
Inline erasure coding protects data from hardware failures while minimizing storage overhead compared to traditional replication
Automatic detection and repair of data corruption at the storage level, ensuring long-term data integrity
State-of-the-art encryption with SSE-S3, SSE-C, and SSE-KMS support for comprehensive data security
Multi-site, active-active replication for disaster recovery and geo-distributed deployments
WORM compliance with object locking and full versioning support for regulatory and compliance requirements
Native integration with PyTorch, Apache Iceberg, and major AI/ML frameworks for seamless data pipeline workflows
Serve as the primary data store for training datasets, model artifacts, and inference pipelines with native framework integration
Replace or supplement cloud backup with on-premises S3-compatible storage featuring active-active replication across sites
Modernize Hadoop infrastructure by replacing HDFS with a high-performance, S3-compatible object store for analytics workloads
Deploy a self-hosted S3-compatible storage layer for applications that need cloud-like APIs without public cloud dependency
Best self-hosted object storage for application backends — the highest-performance S3-compatible storage with the simplest deployment path
Best for programmatic large file workflows — highest raw throughput for teams that access files through scripts, pipelines, and S3-compatible tools rather than desktop sync.
Web-based management console for monitoring, managing buckets, users, and policies across deployments
Built-in IAM with policy-based access control, LDAP/AD integration, and OpenID Connect support
Automated data lifecycle policies for tiering, expiration, and transition between storage classes
Store and manage massive volumes of security event and log data with lifecycle management and compliance features

The fastest AI code editor — built in Rust for speed and collaboration
