Backblaze just became a storage option for Mastodon admins. I heard it’s quite cheap

@Gargron Very interesting.I knew this provider and thought that they already support that.I think I did even recommend them to Mastodon admins in the past 😆

@Gargron

I know this is an old post, but instances are coming across many issues using Backblaze with Sidekiq failures, regardless of setting up timeouts, retry attempts, etc

Mainly 503, No tomes, execution expired, & 443 errors during times of congestion

Any chance of getting a look at the root cause or some hints on best way to handle this so small instances can continue to afford cdn?

After weeks of working with Backblaze, after many 1000 errors, here is the final result

@ClearlyClaire

I do understand that despite previous troubleshooting, we have not discovered a specific error and that may result in frustration. As this does not appear to be an issue regarding your configuration, retry methodology, and we are not blocking/throttling or otherwise purposefully reducing service availability to your account, it is likely that you're encountering these periods of high 503 responses due to service congestion. We are currently engaged in improving performance across all data centers however this is a broad project and we do not specifically have a time frame available for when these service availability improvements may complete. As such, our current recommendation is to attempt retries via your current methodology (including exponential backoff) and/or attempting the request at a later time.
