High-performance, reliable, and cost-efficient storage built for the AI era.


MinIO stopped accepting community contributions. A Milvus community member tried replacing it with RustFS. He ended up building a full RAG chatbot from scratch with surprising ease: • 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮 (𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲): Milvus + RustFS (S3-compatible, written in Rust) + etcd + Attu. One config change to replace MinIO. • 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲: 80 Markdown docs → chunked → embedded with text-embedding-3-large → 466 vectors in Milvus. 𝗥𝗔𝗚 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: • Query gets embedded • Milvus retrieves top 3 chunks via cosine similarity • GPT generates a grounded answer • FastAPI backend, Next.js chat UI All vibe-coded, all open source.

@Minio 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞. So if you're running Milvus, that's worth paying attention to. Tested @RustFSofficial as a potential drop-in replacement. It's Rust-based, implements the same S3 API, and uses Apache 2.0 licensing. 𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭: → Writes are 57% faster → Storage footprint cut nearly in half → But query latency is ~4x slower than MinIO RustFS shows real promise for write-heavy or cost-sensitive workloads, but for query-intensive production use, MinIO or cloud object storage is still the safer choice.
