MinIO: open-source S3-compatible object store with zero egress fees
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-09-15
MinIO is a high-performance object store written in Go under AGPLv3 that can replace AWS S3 and eliminate egress fees.
Key points:
- Fully S3 API compatible: existing SDKs, CLIs and tools work unchanged — just swap the endpoint and the same PutObject/GetObject calls run
- No egress fees since data sits on infrastructure you control
- Runs on bare metal, Docker, Kubernetes, edge, or a laptop
- Erasure coding for durability across drives, no external replication layer needed
Especially relevant for AI stacks with heavy object-storage reads/writes, where self-hosting MinIO can cut cloud costs significantly.
