Cloudflare R2 Pricing

Does that mean that reading a 100kB file from within the datacenter where the object is stored costs the same serving a 5TB file to an external consumer?<p>(I already found S3&#x27;s per-request pricing weird for reading big files, but at least there it&#x27;s limited to internal traffic not egress)

Free egress is wild.<p>Imgur was created to be &quot;an image hosting provider that doesn&#x27;t suck&quot;, but that didn&#x27;t last long. I always figured the reason why Imgur turned to shit was because they needed to drive traffic to their front page so they can serve ads to pay the bills, but I imagine egress was their biggest cost.<p>If egress was free, it could massively reduce their costs.

I wonder how feasible it would be to keep cold assets on Backblaze B2 and automatically move them to R2 if they get hot enough.<p>Better yet, seeing as how you get free transfers between Backblaze and Cloudflare, I wonder if the 10ms cpu limit on free workers (or 50ms paid) would be enough to do the entire process on CF&#x27;s servers.

The prices seem incredible. Will Cloudflare actually make any money off this?

What does R2 stand for?<p>&gt; Cloudflare R2 (beta) documentation<p>&gt; Cloudflare R2 Storage allows developers to store large amounts of unstructured data without the costly egress bandwidth fees associated with typical cloud storage services.<p>Is is merely (S-1)(3-1)?
