MinIO is a high-performance, distributed object storage system designed for cloud-native environments. It is fully compatible with Amazon S3 APIs, making it a popular choice for object storage in both on-premises and cloud environments (mainly kubernetes). MinIO excels at storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as documents, images, videos, and backups, which makes it suitable for building data lakes and modern data storage solutions.
MinIO supports several types of event notifications that can be triggered based on various object-related operations. These events can notify external services (via HTTP, AMQP, Kafka, NATS, or other compatible systems) when certain actions are performed on objects stored in MinIO.
