Hi, I have two questions: 1. Is there any difference on the selection of the PoPs to which my user

Hi, I have two questions:

1. Is there any difference on the selection of the PoPs to which my user will be served content in Free and Pro tier? I have often seen my requests being served all the way from France servers or other part of the world despite having 3 Cloudflare CDN PoPs in my country Pakistan (one is in my city). Will it make any difference if I switch from Free plan to Pro plan?
2. I have hosted my content on R2, so is my content replicated across Cloudflare regions so that it is served from closest origin in case of cache MISS?

I need to write a cloud function to copy a file from google cloud storage to R2 storage. There is a Dart package for accessing any S3 compatible storage but I am wondering if a cloudflare worker could do the file copy more easily than running Dart code in google cloud Run could do it? Can a cloudflare worker do the file copy?

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/11/23, 12:25 PM

A single file? Multiple files? An entire bucket?

snow21•11/11/23, 12:28 PM

Probably something like 20 files at a time, maybe 10 to 20 MB. It will probably happen every few minutes.

Or possibly I could bundle the 20 files into one zip file. They all belong together.

A Worker should be able to handle that then

ok, I'm new to cloudflare, is it much work to implement that? What language would it be?

Also how would a Worker access a file on google cloud storage and what security rule can I have on google cloud?

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/11/23, 12:58 PM

It would be easiest to write it in JavaScript. As for how to access a file on GCS, you should be able to use a library like

aws4fetch

aws4fetch

to pull the files down

npm

aws4fetch

A compact AWS client for modern JS environments. Latest version: 1.0.17, last published: a year ago. Start using aws4fetch in your project by running

npm i aws4fetch

npm i aws4fetch

. There are 30 other projects in the npm registry using aws4fetch.

There's a negligible difference in available pops with free vs pro

Zora•11/11/23, 3:37 PM

business will give you access to many more pops than pro or free

Is there any documentation available on how many more and which ones?

?anycast

Flare•11/11/23, 3:55 PM

Take a look here to see why the Cloudflare datacenter you are routed towards isn't always the closest geographically: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/cdn/glossary/anycast-network/

What is Anycast? | How does Anycast work? | Cloudflare

Anycast is a network addressing and routing method in which incoming requests can be routed to a variety of different locations. Learn how Anycast works.

to answer the first

SSoham ?anycast

ahmedOP•11/11/23, 3:57 PM

Anycast network means that my own ISP would be deciding the PoP on which the request would go, is that correct?

Soham•11/11/23, 3:58 PM

No, cloudflare does it internally

SSoham No, cloudflare does it internally

ahmedOP•11/11/23, 4:04 PM

Okay. Can you help me figure if switching to Cloudflare CDN is a good choice given that the content served to my users would be small TS video file chunks ranging from 200KB to 2MB (stored on R2) and majority of my users are from Pakistan, and then from India/UAE. Cloudflare does show that 3 PoPs in Pakistan but often my requests have been routed to far away PoPs instead of the one in my city. I want to understand why it does this, is it about the plan I have opted or does it depend on something else.

Soham•11/11/23, 4:05 PM

Yes it would be good to switch as it works globally and if you use R2 it is signifcantly cheaper than other services and faster

Soham•11/11/23, 4:06 PM

and if you read the link above it'll show you why requests get routed elsewhere

Aahmed Is there any documentation available on how many more and which ones?

Zora•11/11/23, 4:12 PM

No, it changes based on load and maintenance status

ahmedOP•11/11/23, 4:13 PM

Okay, thanks for guidance guys. Really appreciate it.

Unsmart•11/11/23, 4:52 PM

1. All PoPs are available to all plans (other than china) however free plans are the first to be routed elsewhere if a specific PoP is getting close to capacity. The higher plan level you have the less likely your traffic will be routed elsewhere due to capacity requirements. So the pro plan can help yes.
2. Content on R2 is not replicated across regions. It is currently single region. I know there have been talks about how multi-region will work before but not sure if we are close to that happening yet or not.

Does R2 A Class Operaction has ratelimits?
We are planning to move our objects (500+) on scheduled time via API

Unsmart•11/11/23, 5:28 PM

R2 does not have any rate limits but when you reach upwards of 10k rps on a single bucket there may be some scaling issues

hdd_bar•11/11/23, 5:29 PM

thank you for confiming

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:09 PM

Hello! I am getting this after creating an r2 bucket in a EU zone. Is ther somthing i am doing wrong or a cloudflare problem?

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:19 PM

Okay, so the bucket should be okay?

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:20 PM

yey connection

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:46 PM

will this be fixt?

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:47 PM

hehe okay so after a day in normal week hours maybe?

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:47 PM

I did a test on this for like 10weeks ago and i dident have any problem whit it

Pomdre•11/11/23, 8:48 PM

But my buckets are working so i am going to continue the migration that we have planed for this

Sid•11/11/23, 9:02 PM

Wait what’s the issue here? You just see this red error bar when you create a bucket in the EU jurisdiction? Does something specific trigger it?

grazer•11/11/23, 9:11 PM

Is there any sort of guidance or accepted best practices about how best to set up backups of your R2 data?

grazer•11/11/23, 9:11 PM

or does anyone have tips or guidance about how they go about it?

grazer•11/11/23, 9:12 PM

my concern is not that R2 will fail, but from data loss due to a security breach, rogue processes, programming errors, etc

grazer•11/11/23, 9:16 PM

thanks, that's a possible approach - it would be nice to have nightly backups though

grazer•11/11/23, 9:16 PM

I was hoping there might be some sort of "AWS Backup"-like mechanism that could find the update times on your buckets or something

grazer•11/11/23, 9:16 PM

and then just sync the changed objects or something

Pomdre•11/11/23, 9:19 PM

So i created a r2 bucket and selected the "Specify jurisdiction" field and it is now throwing me this error every time going into the bucket on the dash.
