SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @netlify/blobs, @netlify/vite-plugin.

What problem does it solve? Netlify applications often need to persist files like user uploads, exported documents, generated images, and cached binary artifacts without provisioning external storage infrastructure. This Skill guides you through using Netlify Blobs, the zero-config object storage available from any Netlify compute context, so you avoid misusing it for queryable application data or misconfiguring store scoping and access control. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Store Management: Create site-scoped stores with getStore() for persistent data or deploy-scoped stores with getDeployStore() for per-deploy artifacts, with optional strong consistency for read-after-write scenarios. - Full CRUD and Listing: Set strings, buffers, and JSON with metadata; read data as text, JSON, streams, blobs, or array buffers; delete keys; and list blobs with prefix filtering. - Access and Scoping Guidance: Decide between public and private serving patterns, since Blobs have no built-in access control and the serving layer acts as the gate. - Use Case: A user uploads profile images through your Netlify function. You store each image in a site-scoped store under an uploads/ prefix with content-type metadata, then serve it back through an authenticated endpoint that streams the blob. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to add Netlify Blobs storage to your Netlify function so users can upload and retrieve image files through an authenticated endpoint.

Frequently Asked Questions about netlify-blobs

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I store files in Netlify Functions?

Use Netlify Blobs by installing @netlify/blobs and calling getStore() inside your function. Then use store.set() to write strings, buffers, or JSON, and store.get() to read them back as text, JSON, streams, or array buffers.

What is the difference between Netlify Blobs and Netlify Database?

Netlify Blobs is object storage for files and binary assets like images, documents, and cached artifacts. Netlify Database is for queryable records, user data, and application state. Use Blobs for files and Database for structured dynamic data.

What is the difference between getStore and getDeployStore in Netlify Blobs?

getStore() creates a site-scoped store that persists across all deploys, which suits user data. getDeployStore() creates a deploy-scoped store tied to a single deploy lifecycle, appropriate only for per-deploy build artifacts.

Why do I get 'environment has not been configured to use Netlify Blobs' locally?

This error occurs because local development needs a configured Blobs context. For Vite-based projects, install @netlify/vite-plugin; otherwise run your project through netlify dev, which provides a sandboxed local store separate from production.

Does Netlify Blobs support access control for private files?

Netlify Blobs has no built-in access control. The serving layer is the gate, so private assets must be streamed through an authenticated function or endpoint that checks authorization before returning the blob.

What are the size limits for Netlify Blobs?

Netlify Blobs supports objects up to 5 GB in size. Store names are limited to 64 bytes and keys to 600 bytes, which is sufficient for most file storage and asset caching patterns.
