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 ?

@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

ErcanOP•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

ErcanOP•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.

ErcanOP•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

ErcanOP•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

ErcanOP•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

Awkrill•10/18/23, 3:24 PM

thanks

Bbghira i do head before a put though

digitalpoint•10/18/23, 3:24 PM

Ya, depends on your application. If you need to make sure you aren't overwriting something inadvertently, it would make sense to do a HEAD before a PUT.

kian•10/18/23, 3:25 PM

depending on what you're looking for in the HEADHEAD (i.e if it exists at all, or for modified date/etag) then you could use conditional uploads

Ddigitalpoint Ya, depends on your application. If you need to make sure you aren't overwriting...

bghira•10/18/23, 3:27 PM

it's deterministic and overwriting isn't the end of the world but avoiding class A is the goal there

bghira•10/18/23, 3:28 PM

i actually keep a cached list of bucket contents and remove entries when they are deleted, so that i can avoid having to do a head or list_objects etc, for the most part. but i still have it there for the more expensive write operations, as they are operating in parallel

bghira•10/18/23, 3:29 PM

there's more than 800,000 objects in these buckets
