Hello, I'm using a data storage service to store updates for a game made in Unity. Updates are 265mb

Hello, I'm using a data storage service to store updates for a game made in Unity. Updates are 265mb in size, with the bucket being able to reach 1gb. However, according to the print, the value for bandwidth is very high, making it unfeasible to use this service. The values shown in the print refer to only 3 days of using the service. I would like to know if the R2 can be an alternative to this or not and what the price would be taking into account the consumption recorded in 3 days.

Bandwith consumption was 845 Tb in 3 days!

Pricing is based on peak storage and requests. Say you had 100GB stored and 100M requests were made to fetch data stored in a month, the total cost would be $33.94/month (egress/bandwidth is not billable).

R2 charges based on the total volume of data stored, along with two classes of operations on that data:

Great news, I'm going to use the R2 service and see what the result will be, thank you

Could I use R2 bucket as a backup for my personal storage? I have around 50Gb data and I need to back it up, just for personal use. Does this violence any terms of R2? Anyone help me to clear this please, thank you so much. More information: I was using S3 for the same purpose.

Hi, we have been using Cloudflare Images for our images storage for 1 year. But as our traffic increase the pricing has increased too much considering the amount of storaged image and delivered images over 1m+. So, we have been looking for a way to move all images to r2 storage and use it from there, and we think the pricing will go down. How can we migrate from Cloudflare images to the R2 ?

bghira•10/17/23, 5:38 PM

@xPaghkman using a Worker, i think

bghira•10/17/23, 5:39 PM

you can serve assets through that, from R2

bghira•10/17/23, 5:39 PM

for migration specifically, not sure

bghira•10/17/23, 5:40 PM

for my needs, i am wondering if anyone has a drop-in solution or idea for boto3, how to use a something like, Redis instance for handling file list operations

bghira•10/17/23, 5:41 PM

i can make one for myself, that i would just wrap the write/delete/list operations to use redis for reads and update it when i do writes. but maybe i missed something obvious

bghira•10/17/23, 5:42 PM

i was already thinking of having Redis support in my application for other needs like, more efficiently orchestrating cluster operations than how we do it now, which would reduce our billing needs

Ercan•10/17/23, 5:47 PM

I am able to serve images from r2 easily, but the things is first I need to move all images to R2 somehow. And after that I am gonna add rules to rewrite the old images url to the new image resizing worker for backward compatibility. But need to figure out migration part.

bghira•10/17/23, 5:51 PM

i don't know if there's a built-in means. i would just use a python script to programmatically pull the Images and push to R2

bghira•10/17/23, 5:52 PM

probably a very naive approach

Ercan•10/17/23, 6:14 PM

Looks like that is gonna be the way. But I read somewhere that Cloudflare Images is also using their R2 under the hood, so I am trying to confirm like if there is any other way than doing this manually.

if it's helpful, they're going to be changing the pricing of Images on November 15th and combining Images and Image Resizing: https://blog.cloudflare.com/merging-images-and-image-resizing/
I don't think that affects raw Images pricing though, If you are big enough, you could consider going Enterprise and talking to Sales

Hmm looks like new pricing will be more expensive if I use image resizing + r2. Did not know about this blog.

Ercan•10/17/23, 7:03 PM

It is interesting that cloudflare has decided going with unit numbers for image count or resize count on this product. We will probably look for alternatives that relies storage size.

Erisa•10/17/23, 7:04 PM

Are you sure? The new pricing also makes major changes to how resizes are counted, its only unique transforms so if you resize the same image in the same way multiple times youre only billed once per month, rather than each time like currently.

Erisa•10/17/23, 7:05 PM

The new pricing should be cheaper for almost every use-case

Ercan•10/17/23, 7:08 PM

I am just trying to imagine our use-case which is in a mobile app generally we show different small-medium-original size of images because of the performance, this is generally how it is in mobile apps. And we currently have over 3M+ image delivery per month including all variants of the image sizes.

Erisa•10/17/23, 7:09 PM

I see

Ercan•10/17/23, 7:10 PM

Actually it would be much clear for us to calculate things if we were able to see currently on Cloudflare images the stats of what is the percentage of same image variant (size) out of total delivered image

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/18/23, 1:22 PM

There isn't any limit, objects will just get ejected from cache at some point

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/18/23, 1:22 PM

As in, you are never guaranteed cache space(by number of objects anyway)

Hello, I’m Allie!•10/18/23, 1:23 PM

Size of objects can determine whether it can be cached at all, but that is something else

bghira•10/18/23, 3:01 PM

is it more efficient to HEAD a file that may not exist or fail to GET it?

bghira•10/18/23, 3:02 PM

eg. would adding a HEAD to the beginning of reads cause a problem?

How to ?

Unsmart•10/18/23, 3:16 PM

It's at the bottom of the screenshot these are the class A operations:
ListBuckets, PutBucket, ListObjects, PutObject, CopyObject, CompleteMultipartUpload, CreateMultipartUpload, ListMultipartUploads, UploadPart, UploadPartCopy and PutBucketEncryption.

Awkrill•10/18/23, 3:22 PM

Does that mean you automatically enter class A?

Bbghira is it more efficient to HEAD a file that may not exist or fail to GET it?

digitalpoint•10/18/23, 3:22 PM

A HEAD request counts the same as a GET request as far as both being a class B operation. So checking if an object exists before actually getting it will be 2 class B operations (and probably make things slower overall because you are making 2 API calls that aren't run in parallel).

AAwkrill Can't buy class A straight away?

digitalpoint•10/18/23, 3:23 PM

"Class A" operations aren't a higher/faster tier you are trying to get into. Class A (generally) are write operations, class B are (generally) read operations.

Awkrill•10/18/23, 3:24 PM

ahhh i see
