OSS scale score 328.7Update pace 0 commits/30d
About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

MinIO is a Go-based, high-performance S3-compatible object store historically used for AI/ML, analytics, and data-intensive workloads. The current GitHub repository is archived and its README states that it is no longer maintained.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Expose an S3-compatible API to existing tools and SDKs

MinIO provides S3-compatible APIs that work with S3 tooling, the MinIO Client, and application SDKs.

Sources: [2][3]

Deploy through source builds, custom Docker images, or Kubernetes patterns

The current Community path is source-first, with guidance for compiling the server, building Docker images, and using Kubernetes-oriented deployment options.

Sources: [2][3]

For understanding existing MinIO installations or S3-compatible storage architecture

It remains useful as a reference for systems already running MinIO and for studying S3-compatible object-storage design.

Sources: [2]

Treat maintenance status and distribution changes as primary adoption criteria

The repository is archived and explicitly no longer maintained. Legacy binaries do not receive updates and the Community edition is distributed as source only.

Sources: [2][4]

Supplemental curator note

MinIO is one of the best-known S3-compatible object stores, but the current README explicitly marks this repository as no longer maintained. Community distribution is now source-only, so new production adoption should reassess maintenance and security-update strategy rather than relying on historical project status.
