I know Minio can be used for production workloads, but Minio as a localhost substitute for an S3-like store is underrated. S3 dependent projects I work on spin up a Minio instance via docker-compose to get a fully local development experience.

In other words, I'm not sure what other use case it has by using Minio on top of more expensive block storage than using any other native S3 storage services.
