#2Cloudflare has been attacking the S3 egress problem by creating Sippy: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/data-migration/sippy/
It allows you to incrementally migrate off of providers like S3 and onto the egress-free Cloudflare R2. Very clever idea.
He calls R2 an undiscovered gem and IMO this is the gem's undiscovered gem. (Understandable since Sippy is very new and still in beta)

#3S3 and R2 aside, OVHs object storage offering is really robust and great. It performs better than S3 and is way cheaper, in storage and egress cost.

#4Cloudflare has been building a micro-AWS/Vercel competitor and I love it; i.e., serverless functions, queues, sqlite, kv store, object store (R2), etc.

FWIW, Vercel is at least partially backed by cloudflare services under the hood.

Agree. We've used it for two years with solid performance and reliability.

What are the economics that Amazon and other providers have egress fees and R2 doesn't? Is it acting as a loss leader or does this model still make money for CloudFlare?

I would love to see a good blog post or article on Cloudflares KV store. I just checked it out, and it reports eventual consistency, so it sounds like it might be based upon CRDTs, but I'm just guessing.
