Announcing Cloudflare R2 Storage: Rapid and Reliable Object Storage, minus the egress fees

Cloudflare has announced R2 Storage, an object storage service that enables developers to store large amounts of unstructured data. The service offers full compatibility with Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) API and eliminates egress bandwidth fees typically associated with cloud storage services. Priced at $0.015 per GB of data stored per month, R2 is designed for scalability and reliability, offering 99.9999999% annual durability and resistance to regional failures. The service integrates seamlessly with Cloudflare Workers serverless runtime, allowing developers to build data pipelines and manipulate objects easily. R2 also supports multi-region storage, jurisdictional restrictions for data sovereignty requirements, and automatic integration between R2 and Cloudflare cache. Developers can sign up for the waitlist to access R2, with an open beta expected soon.
