First introduced in late 2021, multi-site Active-Active Replication [https://blog.min.io/minio-multi-site-active-active-replication/] has grown to be one of the most impactful MinIO features. MinIO has long had the ability to replicate between buckets to synchronize objects, delete operations and metadata changes, but Multi-site Active-Active Replication goes beyond bucket replication to synchronize all buckets, IAM, security tokens, service accounts and

MinIO is a strong believer in transparency and data driven discussions. It is why we publish our benchmarks and challenge the rest of the industry to do so as well. It also is why we develop tools that allow a clean, clear measurement of performance and can be easily replicated. We want people to test for themselves. Further, we do

When you think about object storage workloads and storage types - databases are not the first thing that comes to mind. That is changing rapidly, however, driven by just two forces: the availability of true, high performance object storage and explosive growth of data and, perhaps more impactfully, its associated metadata. Because of these two forces, almost every major database
