TAMS and Backblaze B2: Cloud-Native Media Production

This post introduces the integration of Backblaze B2 with the Time Addressable Media Store (TAMS) standard, enabling cloud-native media production workflows. It details how TAMS organizes media by time into timestamped segments stored in object storage, allowing interoperable tools to access content via an open API. The post highlights the roles of ecosystem partners LiveWyer (TAMOSS for API layer), CuttingRoom (browser-based editor), and Drastic Technologies (NetX for ingest/read/write) in building these workflows on Backblaze B2. It emphasizes the benefits of TAMS for live video production, including real-time editing of live feeds, efficient media reuse, and scalable cloud storage for large media datasets at a cost-effective price point.
