Great article. I wrote about a similar experience 9 months ago while switching from Google Cloud Storage to Scaleway Object Storage:

Similarly, I saved about x100. For sure, the services do not offer the same level of guarantees and speed but depending on my case it was worth a migration.

Looking forward to trying Cloudflare R2 soon!

Thank you for sharing! We are also interested in R2, but it sounded like it would not be available for quite some time when we spoke to Cloudflare.

Depending on the size of the objects, one could use Workers KV ($5 per 1M writes, $5 per 10M reads, 25M size limit) as a pseudo-R2 store [0] via Workers Unbound (~$1 per 6M requests), especially with the recent optimizations bringing the bills (of Workers Unbound proxying KV) down by 70% [1]
