#2Nice, and it seems to be quite cheap as well.
It's unfortunate, tho, they don't talk about data residency: where are servers located? Where will my data be copied?

It's still in development, so no details about that yet. Maybe their top tier DCs?
"Our vision for R2 includes multi-region storage that automatically replicates objects to the locations they’re frequently requested from."

What would you like the answer to be? Do you need regional control over data storage like we do with this https://blog.cloudflare.com/supporting-jurisdictional-restri...?

#5Interesting pricing considering Backblaze is another Bandwidth Alliance member and they only charge $0.005/GBmonth (vs. $0.015/GBmonth). B2 + CloudFlare gives you a similar deal at a third the cost.

#6Yes! This is what I was predicting about a week ago on a HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28564387

#7Really interesting, will R2 support lifecycle rules like S3 does? We write around 90 million files per month to S3, if we could replace that with R2 and have the files automatically expire after 30 days that'd be a pretty amazing price reduction for us.

#8Could you provide some more details on the storage system here?
Is it built on Ceph's S3 compatibility?
Your durability numbers imply erasure coding. Is that the case?

I'm excited because while B2 + Cloudflare is great, the speed+latency isn't the greatest for some applications. So there's definitely a place for R2 here to compete more with AWS S3 than B2.

#10Amazing, this is exactly what I was looking for, an S3 compatible provider with no egress cost ... And reliable. I can't wait to try Cloudflare R2!
