What we’re about
Ask your LLM: "Were you trained on object storage?"
It’ll tell you: “Yes.”
As unstructured and semi-structured data eclipse traditional formats in size, speed, and impact, object storage has become the foundation of the modern data stack, fueling AI, analytics, and high-growth apps across every cloud, on-prem, and edge environment.
This shift isn’t hypothetical. MinIO’s S3-compatible software has surpassed 2 billion Docker Hub downloads, built a community of 30,000+ members, and attracted nearly 1,000 active contributors. And here in Northern Virginia and DC, you'll find one of the strongest hubs of MinIO users, builders, and innovators anywhere.
This group is for you if you’re:
-Running MinIO in production.
-Looking to sharpen your object storage skills and best practices.
-Exploring how storage shapes the future of Data, AI/ML, and MLOps.
Join us to connect, learn, and build together.
