It used to be if you wanted thousands of tiny files give seaweed a go, minio would suck. But minio has since had a revision so you'd have to test it out.

Seaweed has been running my k8s persistent volumes pretty admirably for like a year for about 4 devs.

I set up seaweed on my home lab a few weeks ago and while it was a bit difficult to initially get everything configured it seems to work really well once I got it running. I’m using it with the CSI driver and have it incrementally backing up to s3 (I originally had it mirrored then realized for my use case I didn’t need to do that).

My one complaint is that I could not really get it to work with an S3 compatible api that wasn’t officially supported in the list of S3 backends, even though that should have been theoretically possible. I ended up picking a supported backend instead.

Lets say instead of 1000s I need to store billions.

So far I have been testing with seaweed and it seems to chug along fine at around ~4B files and it is still increasing.

Has minio improved on that lately ?
