Oh, looks like Tigris pivoted from Mongo alternative to S3 provider... [1]. Probably they are still based on FoundationDB?

It seems like they charge for outbound traffic? Why would someone use Tigris instead of R2? [2][3]

Yes we are based on FoundationDB. We pivoted from OLTP database to a lower level product as we found that it makes more sense to innovate at the storage infra layer. There is lot of innovation already happening at the higher level database layer.

And we don’t charge for egress to internet.

If you are looking for an active-active multi-region read-anywhere write-anywhere object storage service then you would choose Tigris over R2 :)

Can you elaborate on the differences with R2? I can't really follow from the succinct description :-p

Good question!

R2 seems to be quite cheap for the right use cases.
