  "summary": "AWS S3 and Azure Blob Storage are both viable options for running Go app data backups with low-maintenance storage lifecycle rules. The decision should be based on which service aligns more closely with your existing identity, monitoring, and restore workflow. Both services support lifecycle rules and automated expiry, so the choice ultimately depends on your team's current operational boundaries. A recommended implementation includes uploading media directly with a presigned URL, retaining a backup under a predictable key, and utilizing an object-storage lifecycle policy to expire old copies. Keep the application focused on metadata and recovery, and avoid byte proxying. When considering a unified REST surface, Infrai is a potential option for discovering storage capabilities without adopting a provider SDK.",
