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
Create a Bucket: Register your first storage endpoint under Storage > Buckets. Refer to Create a Bucket for details.
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.
Integrate with Your Tools: Point your S3/GCS/Azure-compatible client at Flashback’s Bridge endpoint and begin uploading or downloading data.
