"lack of enterprise adoption" - That you know of! Most organizations don't blog when they start using a software (:
"wrong tool for the job" - What is the right tool? If it checks all the boxes compared to Minio, and outperforms Minio, it is not unlikely to be used. Minio itself was originally FOSS after all, and it is not without its problems. I'm sure there's many devops folk that welcome an alternative.
AWS (+ S3) is cost prohibitive for many workloads, even at Fortune 500 scale. Plenty of opportunity here.
- vineyardmike 2y agoEnterprise adoption isn't the goal of every software project. If people adopt it, great, but I don't think that all maintainers are targeting this. Garage is explicitly not targeting performance, for example, nor is it targeting a rich feature set. Minio is certainly trying to be the enterprise-ready FOSS front-end for an object store. I can name a few other alternatives, like SeaweedFS, Ceph, Swift that are also trying to provide rich features. I'm not sure who checks all the boxes compared to Minio or others, depends on the boxes I guess.
