At our current growth rate, Backblaze deploys a little over one Vault each month. That's a full rack of storage pods a workday. Some back-of-the-envelope math says that's almost a tractor-trailer worth of hardware a month. Wow.

Yev from Backblaze here -> We're VERY proud of our datacenter techs, and you'd hear more about them if they weren't so shy. It IS a monumental achievement though, considering that a few years ago we only had two guys running our entire farm.

  The client I'm working for failed to get a web server procured with 6 months lead time. And that's a company 100X bigger than Backblaze. I wish they understood how much money they are wasting by being stingy.

Did you do that math right? Shouldn't it be about one pod per day?
