backblaze b2 is not a CDN.
- tiernano 7y agoNot directly, no, but stick Cloudflare in front and now you have a cdn that the storage is cheap and depending on tier you pick, cdn is free. Even the bandwidth from b2 to Cloudflare is free.
- dkh 7y agoNo, but it's still likely to outperform a system delivering assets over WebRTC from whatever p2p users are serving it up.
- namibj 7y agoBut if they don't manage to outperform it (distributed tends to be slow), it won't really matter if it's officially a CDN or not. Amazon S3 is also not a CDN, yet many use it that way. As long as it delivers better performance, it might be worth it.
