Netlify Blobs

Store and retrieve unstructured objects, files, and cache-like state on Netlify with the @netlify/blobs module. Use when persisting user file uploads (images/documents), caching computed output from functions or Background Functions, serving downloadable assets, storing JSON blobs keyed by ID, or seeding deploy-specific data. Reach for this for key/value or object storage from Functions, Edge Functions, or Build Plugins — not for per-user, transactional, or relational data (use Netlify DB for that). Triggers include "save an uploaded file", "cache API results", "store generated site map", "key

# Netlify Blobs

Modern syntax: import from `@netlify/blobs`, open a store, then call methods on the handle.

```ts
import { getStore, getDeployStore, listStores } from "@netlify/blobs";
import type { Context } from "@netlify/functions"; // or "@netlify/edge-functions"
```

In Functions, Edge Functions, and Build Plugins, `siteID`, `deployID`, `token` (and `region` for `getDeployStore`) are injected automatically. Install with `npm install @netlify/blobs`.

**Not a database.** For dynamic, per-user, transactional, or relational data, use Netlify DB. Blobs is for objects, files, and cache-like state. It is optimized for frequent reads and infrequent writes.

**Store scope is a footgun. Read this first.** `getStore` opens a **site-wide store shared across ALL deploy contexts**. Code on a deploy preview reads, overwrites, and deletes production data. Never run destructive tests or seed throwaway data from a preview against a site-wide store. Use `getDeployStore()` or a context-specific store name for isolation.

## Choosing a store type

- `getStore(name)`: site-wide and shared across all deploys. Data persists across deploys, and previews see production data.
- `getDeployStore(name)`: deploy-specific and scoped to one deploy. It stays in sync on rollback and is cleaned up on deploy deletion. Use it for isolation and for anything a failed deploy must not corrupt.
