On: The Cloud’s Software: A Look Inside Backblaze

[3pt14159]

I must say, I started using Blackblaze's S3 competitor, B2, just this week and I'm very impressed. The API is easy to understand, but robust enough to handle hard edge cases, and the interface is quite easy to understand and well designed. The sample code provided works without a long chain of dependencies and it's overall felt like it's working with me rather than having to fight it to do what I want.

Too early to speak to the uptime or support, but I'm pretty optimistic given what I've seen thus far.

Yev from Backblaze here -> Great to hear, glad you're enjoying it! Hopefully you won't need to use support too much :D
