The gap in pricing between enterprise and open source makes it impossible.
If MinIO were to require a license to run, I’m sure I could convince a boss at work to pay several thousands a month for it.
Currently, we are paying about 5000€/month for the hardware to run our MinIO cluster and 0€/month for the MinIO devs. If we now want to keep using their UI, the license costs would be €20.000,-/month. That is an insane gap
