Fastly 1PB: $96,000 OVH 1PB: $6500 Google Cloud: $36,000

CDN pricing is insane.

Is it possible to replace Google Cloud Storage with a CDN? (in other words, find a CDN that lets you manage files - create/delete - and give you a URL to each file with an allowed origin of * to be able to pull it from anywhere?)

I think a lot of CDN’s have cloud storage at the CDN site. https://bunnycdn.com/features has multireplication storage coming soon. You could push to their CDN storage sites and then have that served to users. There are lots of CDN’s with storage though.

Google CDN, Fastly, Cloudfront, they’re selling you bandwidth as Soda. Buy the meal cheap then pay deeply for the refill.

That is great thanks!

I'm trying to see if there is one that lets you manage client uploads with a token, i.e. the server gives an "upload token" to the client so an "untrusted client" has permission to upload a file on behalf of the server, but without having to send the file to the server.

Do you know off the top of your head if any CDN provides this?
