Yev here -> saw my Yev-signal. That's right, Gleb actually answered that question on our blog (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-b2-s3-compatible-ap...) but we're eating the cost. Om nom nom.

Interesting. Implementation wise, is it some form of Minio gateway + hardware?

No gateway - native code written from scratch and optimized for our environment...sitting on top of regular, inexpensive hardware.

When you say regular, I think you mean awesome Storage Pods that were lovingly purpose-built for affordable and efficient data storage (https://www.backblaze.com/b2/storage-pod.html).

*Edit -> Well, those plus the load balancing servers =D
