Hey, PM for R2 here!

We're fully integrated with Workers, so you can write a Worker that calls additional logic when a request is made to the bucket's url.

We have notifications, where a change to the bucket invokes a worker with a specific event, on our roadmap, but have a bunch of other work prioritized ahead of them.

I know this is irrational and not very helpful, but it actually makes me angry when I see a response like "but you can cobble together some janky custom code with Workers to do what you want".

It's like going to a restaurant, asking if they have shrimp scampi, and getting a reply that you can go to a supermarket and buy the ingredients and make the dish and bring it back to the restaurant to have with your meal.

Just tell me you don't have shrimp scampi.

Hi Greg, thanks for the feedback. It’d be great if you could get around to putting up an example of how to do bucket notifications + lifecycle using Workers as a temporary workaround until it’s part of the “core.” I don’t think I’m the only person with this use case, but maybe I’m more of an edge-case minority than I imagine... In any case, a code library / “recipe collection” (do we still call them cookbooks?) would be great when this launches.
