Great to see a smaller, very open company remaining competitive against the giants in the space like Amazon.
I'm particularly excited to see how their B2 service will stack up to Glacier for half the cost.
- atYevP 11y agoYev from Backblaze here -> We're pretty excited about it. Beta users are providing some good feedback too! We think it'll definitely be the right choice for a lot of folks!
- thoughtpalette 11y agoHi Yev! I commented on a previous post about Backblaze cloud storage and if it was at a point to replace S3 for static assets. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10259507 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10259507 "Is this going to work for static asset hosting such as for low cost FE assets? Can this be set to serve an index file from the root directory? Doe's it provide you a public URL to your (stealing s3 terms) bucket? Just curious as to why I would migrate from S3 for FE assets to Backblaze." Was wondering if any progress has been made since then, especially relating to serving an index document from root dir. Thanks! edit: Awesome blog post btw
