as they have their own info and things, i think you have to use their servers even for dev 😭

For the future if you’re just using an s3 complaint store

You can always run minio in a docker container locally

To simulate the s3 api locally

Sadly vercel blob has vendor lock in

i was thinking because they used r2, that it can be s3 compatible, but wasn't sure what vercel magic is done

R2 is s3 complaint

yeah that is what i was saying

I misunderstood

i was trying to say that they use something that is s3 comp, but i wasn't sure that vercel passes that on (but i can see how i didn't convey that ;()

No you did

I’m just a dumby

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunate that there isn't an easy way to write tests against the vercel API that don't use their hosted services

@Dutch Smoushond you could try to mock the functions

yeah. that is an option. I think I will just stick to S3 for now. Looking forward to this tech progressing though.

Ah okay

Hey if you’re using s3 check out next-upload

It’s a package I built as an alternative to vercel blob

It streamlines the upload process without any of the vendor lock in of vercel

All you need is an s3 compatible object store

very cool. will check that out!

Also, you would get insane cheeper if you use cloudflares or AWS over vercel
