Azure Storage vs Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage: What are the differences?
Developers describe Azure Storage as "Reliable, economical cloud storage for data big and small". Azure Storage provides the flexibility to store and retrieve large amounts of unstructured data, such as documents and media files with Azure Blobs; structured nosql based data with Azure Tables; reliable messages with Azure Queues, and use SMB based Azure Files for migrating on-premises applications to the cloud. On the other hand, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage is detailed as "A Cloud Storage service". It is a generic cloud storage. You can use it from any computer, any operating system or any cloud storage purpose. You can manage and store large amounts of media files using this service.
Azure Storage and Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage can be primarily classified as "Cloud Storage" tools.
We choose Backblaze B2 because it makes more sense for storing static assets.
We admire Backblaze's customer service & transparency, plus, we trust them to maintain fair business practices - including not raising prices in the future.
Lower storage costs means we can keep more data for longer, and lower bandwidth means cache misses don't cost a ton.
