On May 16, 2023, Cloudflare announced its partnership with Snowflake to create an efficient and cost-effective solution for data storage and analysis. By integrating Cloudflare's R2 object storage platform with Snowflake's Data Cloud, users can now query data stored in R2 data lakes and load data from R2 into Snowflake without worrying about egress fees or vendor lock-in. This partnership aims to help organizations get valuable insights from their data while reducing costs associated with data transfer between different clouds and regions.
