can anyone explain wtf is tiered cache? ive read the documentation and it kind of makes sense, but i dont get what is this whole discussion is about? how is another CF account or a proxy going to help with anything
One messy but workable solution could be to shard data between multiple R2 buckets with different region hints and then route each uncached request to the closest bucket. Only issue would be multiplying your storage costs and increased complexity
Hopefully in future that particular limitation with Tiered Cache can be sorted out for good the R2 team are aware of these shortcomings and working on solutions, if you have an Enterprise account I strongly recommend reaching out and getting it filed as a feature request to speed that up. If not, hang tight
can we make sure they are not just aware, but "painfully aware" ? you know the difference is "someone wants this" vs "this is f..d up for anyone wanting to use R2 for anything serious
yes I just want to know the manager who is interested in solving this, before I go over customer support who will have the same discussion with me we just had
I would love to connect a manager and @Erisa | Support Engineer so @Erisa | Support Engineer can give them the context, because all of this above is insane to translate in a short form
Your CSM would be separate to Support and should be contacted directly about this so they can follow up internally. But also, I work in Support I'm "off-duty" at the moment but if you get in touch in Monday working hours then I can see what I can do for you
