My favorite thing about all of this is that I had just invested a ton of time in understanding MinIO and its Kubernetes operator and got everything into a state that I felt good about. I was nearly ready to deploy it to production when the announcement was released that they would not be supporting it.
I’m somewhat surprised that no one is forking it (or I haven’t heard about any organizations of consequence stepping up anyway) instead of all of these projects to rebuild it from scratch.
- BadWolfStartup 10mo agoYou can also just pay for MinIO and treat it like any other commercial dependency, with support and clearer expectations around licensing and roadmap, but forks are a different story: unless there’s a well-funded company or solid consortium behind them, you’re mostly just trading one risk for another.
