Welcome, Builders!

Welcome to the Flashback Platform—your unified interface for managing, securing, and scaling multi-cloud and decentralized storage. 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 Support: 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 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: End-to-end encryption, access control, and audit logs to keep your data safe.

Key Concepts

Before diving in, familiarize yourself with these core concepts:

  • 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.

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.
