The TOS calls out specifically "disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited". So if you're just using JS, CSS, images, etc. on your own websites, you're almost certainly going to be fine. If you're doing a huge amount of traffic to those font (etc.) files directly - essentially using the CDN as a file store - and not via your website, that's when you're likely to hit throttles.

James•4/5/23, 9:14 PM

But if you wanted to do a file store and just pay for the usage, that's what KV and R2 are great for

Walshy•4/5/23, 9:14 PM

(note that this is ok to be done with our storage, putting them in R2 for example and serving is fine)

James•4/5/23, 9:14 PM

too slow walshy lul

Is this pertaining to me?

BBlue Is this pertaining to me?

James•4/5/23, 9:18 PM

No, this was in reply to marais

Mmarais think the traffic is coming from almost exclusively websites, not directly as a ...

James•4/5/23, 9:34 PM

well, not really. The traffic is from other websites, so proportionally, that zone is serving way more file content than it is html content

Mmarais so again, what is cloudflare recommended solution for statically hosted assets?

James•4/5/23, 9:34 PM

r2 or kv are specifically file stores that you can use and pay for usage in storage, reqs, etc.

Mmarais but if you turn on edge caching for those, you're breaking the terms again?

James•4/5/23, 9:36 PM

no, cache is fine with r2, etc. ref: r2

Mmarais i have a zone that makes 7 json api calls i cache using a worker. so for every...

James•4/5/23, 9:37 PM

workers are usage-based, so almost certainly not, no

James•4/5/23, 9:38 PM

realistically, if you're concerned about your usage, I'd recommend you reach out to your account team and explain your use-case and get them to clarify/provide insight. These kind of situations are outliers

James•4/5/23, 9:39 PM

I can only speculate - how much other traffic do you serve? what's your total bandwidth/req usage?

James•4/5/23, 9:40 PM

bandwidth?

James•4/5/23, 9:40 PM

yeah okay, I wouldn't worry

James•4/5/23, 9:41 PM

until we're talking tens of TBs or more, this is almost certainly unlikely to ever be a problem

James•4/5/23, 9:41 PM

and at that point, you can probably consider an ENT contract and account team

James•4/5/23, 9:43 PM

I'm not really sure I follow. At a point that you hit the scale that you're serving tens of TBs or more, you'll probably want to consider upgrading your plan, and then eventually reach ENT. Like you would with any usage-based service

James•4/5/23, 9:45 PM

I agree this situation was unfortunate. The biggest issue here imo was the lack of reporting in the dash, and the alert just being an email - that sucks. Bad automated detections for this kinda thing are something that's affected cf for a while across various products, and I know it's something very much top of mind internally right now to improve

Mmarais didn't know i would do that, but thank you. do you have resources to learn about...

James•4/5/23, 9:46 PM

I think it's a pretty common thing with any saas that as you grow, so will your bill. But cf can definitely do a LOT to improve reporting and reassurance around this. People should not be scared to grow with cf, and it really sucks that that's a growing sentiment

Mmarais that's more side effect, even if it was alerted to him, what's he to do with the...

James•4/5/23, 9:47 PM

I think if the alert was more pro-active and not "sorry, it's yeeted", a much more open and productive convo could be had about costs, scaling, etc. But yep, it completely sucks that things just get yeeted and all you get is a "sorry, it happened" email, and no time to prepare

James•4/5/23, 9:49 PM

it's a massive area of improvement that cf need to invest a lot of time and devrel into, imo. You're totally right - people are scared, concerned, and worried about building and growing with cf right now.

James•4/5/23, 9:52 PM

anecdotally, I know way more people that haven't ever had issues than those that have. I know that's a completely bs statement, but I don't have a whole lot else to reassure you right now unfortunately

Realistically with your current usage, I wouldn't be worried for a long time, like 1000+ times your current usage

How can i allow it to let a certain domain name through without this, on nextcloud if i try to go in
