We've been waiting for this since it was announced. We have > 2PB of media heavy data, and transfer a lot via S3 to the internet.

This will reduce our monthly S3 charge from tens-of-thousands USD per month, to ~$200.

Please post a reply here when you get the "you're using too much bandwidth" email and the price that they'll quote you.

Thats problem is for CDN product. On R2 like other Developer products (KV, Worker, DO) you are already paying the bandwidth over the storage price. All those products can be used to HTML and non-HTML product.

Thats the major problem of the CDN product, they dont say that are no traffic fee, they just say they will not charge you "except" on some cases (that you never know). But other products they are very specific of the egress fee, like Stream, Magic Transit, Spectrum, etc.... They should fix that matter on CND, no one like that.

Sure, i dont know what will happen if someone just try to make a youtube like over R2... They probable "want" that....

This is the exact case when the "except" will be triggered. He is describing a video/image cdn in his comment.

Here's the post where the CEO said R2 can serve video/image just fine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28682885

Feel free to build a youtube clone on top of it then.

The storage cost on r2 is .015/GB. Might want to redo the math

I should have specified "This will reduce our monthly S3 _transfer_ charge from..."

This is what we live for :)
