1. Executive Summary

The team reviewed storage strategies for our LuxStudio Solution. We initially considered migrating from a document-DB approach to a traditional file-system model. However, after evaluating long-term modularity, performance, and maintainability, we unanimously agreed to pursue a bucket-style database solution using MinIO.

2. Discussion Points

Current Storage Model

• LuxStudio assets are presently stored in a document-oriented database.

• Concerns were raised about scalability and operational complexity.

File-System Migration Proposal

• Pros:

  • Simplifies backup and direct file access.

• Cons:

  • Limited scalability in distributed environments.

  • Potential performance bottlenecks under heavy I/O loads.

Bucket-Style DB (MinIO) Evaluation

• Modularity:

  • MinIO’s S3-compatible API allows plug-and-play integration with existing cloud-native tooling.

• Performance:

  • Distributed, erasure-coded clusters ensure high throughput and fault tolerance.

• Sustainability:

  • Easier maintenance and upgrades via rolling updates.

  • Broad community and commercial support.

3. Decision

Adopt a bucket-style object storage solution using MinIO for all LuxStudio asset storage moving forward.

4. Next Steps & Action Items

• Prototype MinIO deployment (single-node) and validate core APIs.

• Benchmark read/write performance against existing document-DB setup.

• Draft architecture diagram and integration plan with LuxStudio

• Review security and backup strategies for MinIO cluster
