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!
