Scaling Applications and Services with Backblaze B2

Backblaze B2 and Fastly are the perfect match, providing customers with cost-effective content storage, distribution, and edge computing.

Join Pat Patterson, Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze, and Jim Bartus, Senior Sales Engineer at Fastly as they demonstrate how to speed up content delivery for web and media streaming applications. You’ll learn about

• Mapping latency to Backblaze's US West and, newly launched, US East regions
• Utilizing Backblaze Cloud Replication to achieve more efficient content delivery
• Leveraging a Fastly Compute@Edge app to minimize latency and deliver content faster

Delivering content to your end users at scale can be challenging and costly. They expect exceptional web and mobile experiences with snappy load times and zero buffering. Anything less than an instantaneous response may cause them to bounce. In this 45-minute hands-on session, Pat Patterson will demonstrate how to efficiently scale your content delivery workflows from content ingestion, transcoding, storage, to last-mile acceleration via bunny.net CDN.

With a global economic slowdown on the horizon, IT and development teams are looking for ways to slash cloud budgets without compromising performance. E-commerce, SaaS platforms, and streaming applications all rely on high-performant infrastructure, but balancing bandwidth and storage costs can be challenging. In this 45-minute session, we’ll explore:

• How to recession-proof your growing business with key cloud optimization strategies.

• Customer spotlight: Video streaming platform Gideo delivers petabytes of content per month while reducing OpEx by 70%.

• Ways to leverage Fastly’s CDN to balance bandwidth costs while avoiding performance tradeoffs.

• Eliminating data migration hassles and costs using Backblaze’s free Universal Data Migration service.

SaaS and other modern businesses that are locked into traditional hyperscaler infrastructure are often forced to make trade-offs between spend and performance as they scale with limited budgets. Instead of sacrificing budget or performance, building on best-of-breed, specialized cloud stacks customized for their business model provides a better alternative, allowing them to scale sustainably. In this session, we’ll explore:

• How to effectively leverage Backblaze B2 and Vultr cloud compute to scale application workloads.
• Customer spotlights:
○ Can Stock Photo breaks free from AWS and reduces cloud bill by 55% and achieves 4x faster generation.
○ Monument Labs, Inc. launches a new cloud-based photo management service to 25,000+ users.
○ Black.ai processes 1000s of files simultaneously, with a significant reduction in infrastructure costs.
• And more!

James will explain why he chose Backblaze B2 as Nodecraft's cloud storage platform in early 2018, how his team transferred terabytes of saved game worlds from Amazon S3 to Backblaze B2 in just seven hours, and the impact this decision had on Nodecraft's ability to expand its business and cater to new customers since then.

Object Lock allows Backblaze B2 customers to make data immutable, preventing files from being changed or deleted until a given date. Off-the-shelf products, such as backup software, leverage Object Lock to protect data that is stored in Backblaze B2 from threats like ransomware or for regulatory compliance. In this webinar, Pat Patterson, Chief Technical Evangelist at Backblaze, will present a deeper look at Object Lock. Pat will explain Object Lock's governance, compliance, and legal hold modes, how to enable Object Lock at the bucket and file level, and how to take advantage of Object Lock in your own applications.

This webinar is essential viewing for any IT professional responsible for archiving or backing up data, and any developer writing applications that leverage cloud object storage.
