Backblaze integration

What is Backblaze?

Backblaze is a cloud storage solution for media hosting, backups, and building applications using S3-compatible APIs. It lets users store and access their data from any device, while also providing a desktop app for easy and convenient backup management.

Integrating Buddy with the service allows you to interact with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage directly from your CI/CD pipelines and automate deployments to buckets in it.
