I appreciate the callout of @backblaze having the 'guts' to call our API S3-compatible... but we're trying to be clear. And compatibility across cloud services is valuable for customers across the entire cloud ecosystem.

10+ yrs we've published an analysis of all the hard drives that @backblaze uses to provide our cloud storage. The latest analysis has some surprising findings - including 3 drive types that have had zero failures > backblaze.com/blog/backblaze…

Replying to @devisridhar
BackBlaze is about 5 bucks a month. As @franklinveaux says “If you don’t have backups, you don’t own your data; you are just leasing it from fate”
Want to go IPO? Taking @backblaze public was thrilling, yet the IPO is largely a black box for most entrepreneurs. We're aiming to make it more accessible by Open Sourcing the IPO > backblaze.com/blog/open-sour… #ipo #opensource
