Chief Technical Officer at NIASE

We host a document store with approximately seven million documents that need to be retained in perpetuity. The documents are used for discovery in legal cases. The document store grows continuously and periodically they have been rehoused due to scalability issues. We selected MinIO because it promises to be a more highly scalable and performant solution than past choices.  We are users of MinIO and I'm the VP of Information Services as well as the company CTO.

The tool helps our customers store documents with their respective versions. Our solutions work around loan processing, loan origination, loan management, and collections. During the loan application process, there is a lot of documentation involved which needs to be stored. The product handles the document’s versioning and storing.

Our solutions also have a module that does the video KYC of our customers. MinIO saves the actual recording of the video KYC process. We use the tool to store and retrieve documents and videos with proper versioning.

I am a solutions architect. MinIO is a public cloud type of storage that can attach external storage volume. I run it proprietary, or open-source. I use it to run a lot of test instances and production, spinning a new product out of it. In general, I use it for the S3 cloud storage capabilities.

Internally in our company, we have five people that use MinIO by putting their data in and heavily pound it for testing efforts.

We used it for machine learning artifacts in terms of model weights and the model outputs for visualizations for ephemeral tasks.

I was using it less than a year ago, and it was the latest open-source version.

Software Architect at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

We are a service provider for the financial sector. We make solutions for our biggest town and guys from this town. The government is trying to keep specific information inside the country, so we developed a solution with that goal in mind. 

MinIO was deployed in the center of the Kubernetes cluster, and it's used for keeping files. What's more interesting is how MinIO works with a file. So we used our widget in this instance. For the first approach, we got files from a user proficient system, I believe it's called. We got everything moving on FTP. After that, we put it all into MinIO on our internal partition. So that means transforming and preparing for transfer to the bank. With MinIO, you are preparing a pipeline of folders, where each folder maintains a particular stable file. So for that, we're using MinIO's ability to work with attributes and transfer copies of region files via the stream. As a solution, we use MinIO just like a file keeper. We use characteristics for storage then triple the small source from history 

MinIO's use case varies from project to project. In that case, guys from the company used MinIO as a solution for their particular system. It wasn't my decision to use MinIO. For my company, we use another approach because I work at Russian Post. It's a specific company with government contracts, and we have a lot of work requirements about what solutions we can use.

Product Owner at a tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees

A multi-tenant data space solution that in our case, consumes and stores large amounts of traffic sensor data for multiple cities worldwide. 

Right from the start the data-space solution we were building was supposed to be cloud native & cloud agnostic, hence instead of interacting with AWS-S3 using SDK we were using minIO as a gateway over AWS-s3 store. 

We're long-standing customers of MinIO. I was a senior member of the technical staff with the team who built the data-space solution.

SF
Senior Software Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees

I am a software developer. My company was using MinIO to build new frontend applications. We were modernizing the desktop branch application into a web application because it was a modular application with lots of screens. 

We didn't want the architect team to increase the size of the client applications. We also did not want a single package as our clients in rural areas would not be able to efficiently load application pages from a very long package network. 

We were looking for a better way to optimize the load so MinIO was able to customize web packaging for the frontend and then decompose the web application components. We were packaging everything into a single package. By using MinIO we now optimize the transfer by providing storage for the packages.

Also, our development team had been deploying machine learning algorithms and modules were being produced. Some of these pilot projects do not end up going into production, so we use MinIO as storage for the data produced from machine learning. It works like a Git for machine learning models. The data is posted to Git and the actual files with the hashes are stored in MinIO. The IDs of those models are stored as metadata. It's a model versioning system for machine learning projects.

We deploy MinIO in our data centers as a local version.

AS
Staff Engineer at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Generally speaking, we use MiniIO for storing unstructured or semi-structured data. In my current project, we were using it for the semi-structured data. We also use MinIO as a data link. The data is transformed and loaded onto MinIO. And MinIO is used to rate the statistics based on the data.

So I'll just briefly explain how the entire flow works and how the data comes into the menu. After we transform the data, we input it into MinIO. The raw data is in different formats. It is in a delimited, positional-specific, or some other format. And three types of data—virtual, date and time, and numeric—are being loaded, including all Python and Java date formats and various kinds of normal data. Once we transform the data, we load it onto MinIO.

The development and QA teams are the primary users. They work on MinIO together to load the data. So, for the lower environment, the subsequent systems directly read the data from the menu and then utilize it for visualization. The actual end-customer is not reading the data directly from MinIO.

We were trying to implement on object-storage a distributable solution and the main use was for cryptocurrency mining. The cryptocurrency uses block storage or different storage for crypto mining.
