# Introduction

This document outlines how to make hotfix binaries and containers for MinIO?. The main focus in this article is about how to backport patches to a specific branch and finally building binaries/containers.

## Pre-pre requisite

- A working knowledge of MinIO codebase and its various components.
- A working knowledge of AWS S3 API behaviors and corner cases.

## Pre-requisite for backporting any fixes

This works the same way as with Pydantic models. And it is actually achieved in the same way underneath, using Pydantic.

Keep in mind that dataclasses can't do everything Pydantic models can do.

So, you might still need to use Pydantic models.

But if you have a bunch of dataclasses laying around, this is a nice trick to use them to power a web API using FastAPI. 🤓
