Vercel Blob Storage

Overview

Vercel Blob provides an S3-compatible object store that lives inside your Vercel project. Upload files from serverless functions, serve them through the global edge network, and manage lifecycle policies — all without provisioning buckets or IAM roles.

Why Blob

• Single-command setup via the Vercel dashboard
• Automatic edge caching with cache-control headers
• Private blobs with signed URLs for license artifacts
• Direct upload from the browser using presigned POST
• No cold starts — data is always hot at the edge

Quick Start

npm install @vercel/blob

// app/api/upload/route.ts
import { put } from '@vercel/blob'
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'

export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const form = await req.formData()
  const file = form.get('file') as File
  const blob = await put(file.name, file, {
    access: 'public',
  })
  return NextResponse.json(blob)
}

Nimbus Integration

Meridian uses Vercel Blob to store signed payload artifacts, customer crash dumps, and license verification snapshots. Each upload is fingerprinted against the license key and stored with a TTL that matches the subscription window.
