Backblaze is not a good choice for most things unless you were using it strictly for backup. Their S3 compatibility, as is most S3 compatibility, is a cruel joke last I looked at it.

I publish a mildly(?) popular offloading plugin for WordPress and adding Backblaze support was my biggest regret.

That's unfortunate to hear... I assumed the API to be more standardized in the strictest sense.

I was truly surprised to see Amazon branded headers in something claiming to be 'standards compliant'

They may be optional, but their presence simply complicates things; particularly when clients opt into them.

It devalues what is common/reused! Either locking you into Amazon or another protocol entirely

It’s also very, very slow.

I switched to Wasabi and am using the C++ AWS SDK. I’m impressed by their performance

Usage is domestic fibre gigabit symmetric from a 2013 MacBook Pro.
