I noticed this blog post is mostly marketing for their minio software, so I went to check it out (I guess the marketing worked).<p>I wish there was some documentation available. I understand it&#x27;s an object store, it implements the S3 API and it&#x27;s open source. It&#x27;s hard to figure out much more than that.<p>This is not the first open source object store (Openstack Swift, Ceph, etc) so it&#x27;s not clear what differentiates this from other options currently available.<p>Ignoring the competition, what is the design of it? I&#x27;m assuming it can scale out by adding more hosts, but the README doesn&#x27;t mention how to do that. How does it cope with bit rot? Is this designed for read-mostly data or can it deal with a high percentage of writes effeciently?
