Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Backblaze B2 is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Backups, archives, and datasets where cost is a primary constraint
- Media libraries and content storage where you can model egress and requests
- Teams that want S3-adjacent workflows without hyperscaler governance overhead
- Organizations comfortable validating constraints and operational fit
Who should avoid
- You need deep enterprise governance integrated into a hyperscaler ecosystem
- Your workload is extremely request-heavy and you lack a clear cost model
- You need broad global footprint and hyperscaler-grade service adjacency
