Who is eligible for Flamethrower?
Backblaze says it is likely a fit for startups under 7 years old with fewer than 100 employees, usually Seed to Series B. Venture-backed, accelerator-backed and bootstrapped companies can apply. Object storage should be central to your product.
How do I apply?
Open this deal on Your Accelerator with a Premium account, then use the application form on Backblaze's Flamethrower page. It asks for name, role, email, company, website, funding level and storage size. Backblaze sales contacts you afterward.
Is the free 10GB of B2 storage still available?
Yes. The first 10GB of B2 storage is always free on every account, with or without the program. Above that, pay-as-you-go storage starts at $6.95 per TB per month, about $0.00695 per GB.
How much does Backblaze charge for egress?
Egress is free up to 3x your average monthly storage. Beyond that it costs $0.01 per GB, unless the data goes through a free egress partner such as Cloudflare, Fastly or bunny.net.
Is Backblaze B2 S3-compatible?
Yes. B2 has an S3-compatible API, so S3 SDKs and tools work after you change the endpoint and keys. The endpoint follows the pattern s3.<region>.backblazeb2.com.
