Case Study: Tribute saves $15K/month with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage

Tribute saves $15K/month and migrates to Backblaze B2 in under 2 weeks

Tribute, a cloud video platform for creating celebratory video montages, faced a sudden 20x growth spike that caused them to burn through their AWS credits. Their challenge was finding an affordable cloud storage solution that could handle their bandwidth-heavy initial usage and long-term storage needs without requiring a complete rebuild of their existing infrastructure. They turned to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage for a solution.

Backblaze provided a seamless, cost-effective solution through its S3 Compatible API, which acted as a drop-in replacement requiring no substantial architectural changes. Integrated with their existing CDN partner, bunny.net, the solution eliminated egress fees. The migration from proof of concept to full production took less than two weeks. As a result, Tribute saved $15,000 per month on storage and egress costs, allowing them to scale effectively and refocus engineering efforts on product development instead of infrastructure.
