I'm super confused how anyone could recommend Minio for the foundation of a production system as well. I've understood it to be primarily for development purposes and have used it for some local mock tests for S3 compatibility behind a firewall or to simulate error test cases more reliably in my applications. Even Ceph has its warts for distributed object storage as does basically... anything in existence worth considering that's OSS-ish (GlusterFS, HDFS, Lustre) but comparing Minio to ZFS is confusing given how drastically different in purpose, functionality, and engineering hardening has happened between the two projects. With that said, the AWS S3 team really is impressive in what they've built out and deserves more shout-outs from people outside Amazon.
