Manipulating binary large objects

In a computing environment, a system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device comprising computer-executable instructions, the memory device coupled to the processor such that the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• generate a write request for a target blob, the target blob associated with a defined blob type;
• and
• transmit, to a network service, the write request, such that the network service is configured to execute a set of content rules associated with the target blob and, on condition that the set of content rules are successfully executed, store the target blob in a memory area based on the set of content rules, wherein executing the content rules includes one or more of the following:
• validating data in the target blob, classifying data in the target blob, and applying a format conversion to data in the target blob.

A method comprising:

• generating a read request for a target blob representing at least a portion of one or more blobs stored at a network service, the read request including one or more criteria;
• transmitting, to the network service, the read request, such that the network service is configured to create transformed data by determining a blob type associated with the target blob based on the criteria, and executing a transformation function based on the determined blob type associated with the target blob, wherein executing the transformation function includes one or more of the following:
• reducing one or more dimensions of graphical data in the target blob, applying a data reduction algorithm to data in the target blob, applying a format conversion to data in the target blob, and filtering data in the target blob;
• and
• receiving the transformed data.
