DigitalOcean Spaces is an object storage service built for durability, scalability, and easy access to files through simple APIs. It’s commonly used to store media, backups, exports, and application assets, with features that support reliable uploads, listing, and lifecycle-style cleanup. Teams choose it when they need dependable cloud storage without the complexity of traditional infrastructure management.

When BOBs connect to DigitalOcean Spaces, they gain a dependable place to store and manage files as part of a larger job—think exports, uploads, processed assets, and scheduled content pipelines. BOBs can reliably upload documents or media, retrieve what’s already stored, and remove outdated files to keep your storage clean and organized.

Just as importantly, BOBs can treat the bucket as an event source: when new files land (or files get deleted), BOBs can automatically kick off the next step in your business process—like processing, validation, notification, syncing to downstream systems, or updating records. This unlocks use cases such as automated data delivery, media/asset ingestion workflows, backup artifact management, and operational housekeeping tied directly to storage changes.
