Comment on Backblaze Pricing and Product Updates

Comments

B2 has serious performance problems on the US West Coast (and possibly other regions too) in the evenings. Between the hours of around 5 pm to 2am, somewhere between 1% and 5% of requests transfer at <= 1% speed. This is bad because it’s very noticeable to my customers. It’s so predictable that I have a script running in a West Coast VM that pings me whenever the problem occurs - it pings me around 50 times a day.

Despite how predictable and reproducible it is, I’ve had a support ticket open for months with no progress. Having said that, even with this issue, B2 is still better than its (non-hyperscaler) competitors.

Yev from Backblaze here -> Do you have a ticket number I can reference and ask about?
