Diagram: MinIO erasure-coding storage inflation on small objects — per-drive xl.meta metadata replicated across the erasure set

Stop using MinIO as a NoSQL database — why S3 object stores collapse on small-file workloads

Two MinIO platforms, same root cause: used as a NoSQL store. Field notes on LIST IOPS, XFS directory limits, scanner & heal SLAs, the erasure-coding storage-efficiency inversion on small objects, and why Apache Cassandra (or Ceph) is the right answer on-prem in 2026.

Choosing the Right Storage Backend for Kubernetes PVCs

Most discussions about PVC focus on on-prem deployments, but many of these technologies are equally relevant in the cloud, especially when using managed block storage like AWS EBS, which caps at around 64K IOPS. By contrast, OpenEBS LocalPV (ZFS or LVM) can attach directly to NVMe-backed local disks, unlocking true Read more
