Welcome, Builders!

This is the documentation of the Flashback Platform. We are building your unified interface for managing, securing, and scaling our cloud operations across centralized and decentralized Cloud providers. Whether you’re a technical entrepreneur, developer, system administrator, or engineer, this guide will help you get started quickly and make the most of our powerful infrastructure.

Why Flashback?

• Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Object Storage: Seamlessly integrate AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, and S3-compatible providers under one roof.

• Decentralized Options: Connect to decentralized storage networks like Akave (Filecoin) or StorJ for greater resilience and cost flexibility.

• Transparent Pricing: Free onboarding and predictable cost thresholds, only pay when you surpass your usage limits.

• Enterprise-Grade Security: Get access to the equivalent security standards offered by the biggest hyperscalers like AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Key Concepts

Before diving in, familiarize yourself with the core concepts of your Cloud Object Storage:

• Buckets: Individual storage endpoints (e.g., an S3 bucket or GCS bucket) that you register with Flashback.

• Repositories: Logical aggregations of one or more buckets, presented via a unified S3/GCS/Azure-compatible interface where you generate your API keys, credentials for programmatic access and permission level (READ, WRITE).

• Bridge Nodes: Flashback-managed endpoints that translate your existing storage protocols into Flashback APIs.

In the future, we will extend our solution to concepts such as structured data storage, serverless solutions, and more!

Getting Started

1. Create a Bucket: Register your first storage endpoint under Storage > Buckets. Refer to Create a Bucket for details.

2. Create a Repository: Aggregate one or more buckets into a repository under Storage > Repositories. See Create a Repository and issue READ/WRITE keys in your repository’s API Keys tab to start interacting programmatically.

3. Integrate with Your Tools: Point your S3/GCS/Azure-compatible client at Flashback’s Bridge endpoint and begin uploading or downloading data.
