High-performance S3-compatible object storage for AI and analytics
MinIO delivers blazing-fast, S3-compatible object storage optimized for AI/ML, analytics, and data-intensive workloads at scale.
MinIO is a high-performance object storage system designed to handle the demanding requirements of AI/ML pipelines, analytics platforms, and large-scale data infrastructure. With full S3 API compatibility, it integrates seamlessly into existing cloud-native architectures while delivering industry-leading throughput and low latency.
Built in Go, MinIO runs on bare metal, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud environments. Teams can compile from source for custom deployments or use pre-built binaries. The embedded MinIO Console provides intuitive web-based management, while the mc command-line client offers powerful automation capabilities. Erasure coding ensures data durability without sacrificing performance.
Released under GNU AGPLv3, MinIO serves the open-source community with best-effort support through GitHub and Slack. Organizations requiring commercial licensing, production SLAs, or proprietary usage should explore MinIO AIStor for enterprise-grade support and compliance.
When teams consider MinIO, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Scalable object storage for unstructured data
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
AI Model Training Pipeline
Store and serve petabytes of training data with low-latency access for distributed ML frameworks
Data Lake Infrastructure
Build S3-compatible data lakes on-premises or across multiple clouds for analytics workloads
Backup and Archival
Replace expensive cloud storage with high-performance object storage for backup repositories
Media Asset Management
Serve high-resolution video and image assets with erasure-coded durability and fast retrieval
Yes, MinIO implements the S3 API, allowing seamless integration with S3-compatible tools, SDKs, and applications without code changes.
AGPLv3 requires you to release source code of modified versions and applications that interact with MinIO over a network. Commercial licensing is available through MinIO AIStor for proprietary use.
Yes, but source-built deployments carry no warranty. For production SLAs and enterprise support, consider MinIO AIStor commercial licensing.
MinIO uses erasure coding to protect data against hardware failures while maintaining high performance and storage efficiency.
You need Go 1.24 or later. Use `go install github.com/minio/minio@latest` to compile and install the latest version.
