Alternatives to MinIO for single-node local S3
https://rmoff.net/2026/01/14/alternatives-to-minio-for-single-node-local-s3/
In late 2025 the company behind MinIO decided to abandon it to pursue other commercial interests. As well as upsetting a bunch of folk, it also put the cat amongst the pigeons of many software demos that relied on MinIO to emulate S3 storage locally, not to mention build pipelines that used it for validating S3 compatibility.
In this blog post I’m going to look at some alternatives to MinIO.

Amazon S3 adds new functionality for conditional writes - AWS
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2024/11/amazon-s3-functionality-conditional-writes/
Amazon S3 can now perform conditional writes that evaluate if an object is unmodified before updating it. This helps you coordinate simultaneous writes to the same object and prevents multiple concurrent writers from unintentionally overwriting the object without knowing the state of its content. You can use this capability by providing the ETag of an object using S3 PutObject or CompleteMultipartUpload API requests in both S3 general purpose and directory buckets.

I’m not even going to get into much deep math here because all I gotta tell you is that there are 1 TB USB 2 External drives on Amazon for under $150. So I can buy a new TB every MONTH, copy a backup to it and ship it offsite and let it sit and it’s cheaper than S3"
