Blob storage, short for Binary Large Object storage, is a solution for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as images, videos, audio, and other multimedia files. It's highly scalable, making it ideal for data that requires large capacity and swift access. Blob storage is commonly used in cloud storage systems and supports streaming capabilities, making it suitable for serving content directly to a browser. It's essential in web hosting for efficiently managing large files, providing high availability, and ensuring data is easily accessible over the internet.
