+# 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.
