If you'll be using B2 for live production data, a couple points:

First, B2's pricing is pretty amazing, especially compared to S3 and similar competitors: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage-pricing.html

Second, be aware those savings come with some downsides. The major one for us has been their maintenance window every Thursday from 2:00-3:00pm Pacific Time. Usually there's no outage, but sometimes there is. There's no warning - it's just down sometimes during that window. So, if uptime is important for your data, consider the cost of also implementing a fallback solution to cover your production use during those maintenance windows. https://www.backblaze.com/scheduled-maintenance.html
