Frequently Asked Questions¶

What's with the name Blöbbu?¶

We are engineers. Naming things is hard. Jokes aside, we wanted a name that is memorable, unique, and still somewhat related to the concept of blob storage. The ö adds a bit of swiss flair, and adding a -u is a common way to form nicknames in the Berenese part of Switzerland.

How do you say it? Pronounced "Bluh-boo." Think of the u in surf or burn

Which storage solutions does Blöbbu support?¶

As of now, Blöbbu supports Azure Blob Storage. Other cloud providers and storage solutions may be implemented on request.

Do I need to host Blöbbu myself?¶

Yes, you need to host Blöbbu yourself. This ensures that the files are stored within your own infrastructure, providing full control and compliance with your organization's policies.

Do I need to host Blöbbu in Azure?¶

No, you do not need to host Blöbbu in Azure. You can host Blöbbu in any cloud provider or on-premises infrastructure that supports the required dependencies and configurations. This gives you full control over your data, and is a key difference to other SaaS solutions.
