Summary

Vercel Blob is a durable storage solution integrated with Vercel's application delivery network, providing simple and globally available storage that feels native to your app. It's built for high-volume workloads, leveraging AWS S3 infrastructure for 99.999999999% reliability, and introduces Blob Data Transfer, a new high-volume delivery strategy separate from Fast Data Transfer. Caching is abstracted away by Vercel's caching infrastructure, handling data transfer as part of the standard request lifecycle. The solution supports large uploads up to 5TB with built-in support for multi-part uploads, resumability, retries, and concurrency. Pricing is usage-based and in line with what developers already understand, with regional pricing for Pro and Enterprise customers. Vercel Blob also introduces a new Observability tab for team-level visibility into how Blob stores are used across applications, allowing developers to identify inefficiencies and optimize their workflow.
