The Datastorage.com Podcast: Building for Tomorrow's Cloud Infrastructure

In this episode of The Data Storage Podcast, we sit down with the CEO of Backblaze to discuss the broader state of cloud computing — from hyperscaler dominance to the rise of AI infrastructure and multi-cloud strategy.

We explore:
  • How the cloud market is evolving in the AI era
  • Whether hyperscaler pricing models are sustainable
  • The pressure egress fees create for modern workloads
  • The rise of alternative cloud providers (“neoclouds”)
  • What founders and infrastructure leaders should consider in 2026

This conversation goes beyond product features to examine the structural shifts reshaping cloud economics and infrastructure strategy.

If you’re building or managing AI workloads, evaluating multi-cloud architecture, or watching the next phase of cloud competition unfold, this episode provides a high-level executive perspective.
