Setup & Installation
What This Skill Does
Netlify Blobs is zero-config object storage built into the Netlify platform. It works from functions, edge functions, and framework server routes without any provisioning. Supports CRUD operations, metadata, prefix-based listing, and both site-scoped and deploy-scoped stores.
Unlike S3 or Cloudflare R2, Netlify Blobs requires zero provisioning or credentials setup when running on Netlify compute — the environment is pre-configured automatically.
When to use it
- Storing user-uploaded images tied to a Netlify function
- Caching API responses as JSON blobs between function invocations
- Saving form submission data without spinning up a database
- Reading deploy-specific assets scoped to a single deploy lifecycle
- Listing all files under a key prefix to build a simple file browser
