I recently started keeping about 30TB of ElasticSearch and Postgres backups in Backblaze B2. The price is great, but getting data in is not particularly easy as the Backblaze S3 API seems to fail a high proportion of requests when under load.

If R2 can be approximately as reliable on ingest as AWS/GCS/Azure is, but without the egress fees of the other major providers, then $0.015/GB-month seems like a pretty good deal.

B2 really is an exercise in making sure your code is robust with respect to external APIs but I'll be damned if it isn't cheap. We ended up building a whole queueing system for it because ad-hoc retry logic stopped being good enough.

I’ve had a great experience with Wasabi + BunnyCDN. Might be worth kicking the tires, as it’s a really inexpensive combo.
