# A blob is a record that contains the metadata about a file and a key for where that file resides on the service.
# Blobs can be created in two ways:
#
# 1) Subsequent to the file being uploaded server-side to the service via <tt>create_after_upload!</tt>.
# 2) Ahead of the file being directly uploaded client-side to the service via <tt>create_before_direct_upload!</tt>.
#
# The first option doesn't require any client-side JavaScript integration, and can be used by any other back-end
# service that deals with files. The second option is faster, since you're not using your own server as a staging
# point for uploads, and can work with deployments like Heroku that do not provide large amounts of disk space.
#
# Blobs are intended to be immutable in as-so-far as their reference to a specific file goes. You're allowed to
# update a blob's metadata on a subsequent pass, but you should not update the key or change the uploaded file.
# If you need to create a derivative or otherwise change the blob, simply create a new blob and purge the old one.

  # Frequently, though, you don't actually want to transform the variant right away. But rather simply refer to a
  # specific variant that can be created by a controller on-demand. Like so:
  #
  #   <%= image_tag url_for(Current.user.avatar.variant(resize: "100x100")) %>

  # can then produce on-demand.
