and if I'm understanding right, the etag means the client can skip requesting the body of the response if the etag matches a previously cached response?

dave•4/3/24, 3:42 PM

yes. If you're opening files in the browser, it'll handle the etag matching stuff for you.

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:45 PM

I think I'm still confused haha. So no-transform is saying "don't ungzip this" for this case which means the md5 is calculated on the bytes that are actually stored.

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:45 PM

Like what is the pipeline with transform vs no-transform

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:46 PM

r2 => cloudflare => browser
somewhere in there the file is getting unzipped, but that would happen in the browser right?

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:48 PM

on disk (r2) the file is stored gzipped the header is stored on r2 also
when browser requests it, the compressed file and the headers are proxied through cloudflare and sent to the browser, browser decompresses it because it has those headers

is my understanding correct?

VVenkat Dinavahi I think I'm still confused haha. So no-transform is saying "don't ungzip this" f...

dave•4/3/24, 3:49 PM

no-transform is telling cf "don't ungzip this"

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:49 PM

ahhhh, so cloudflare ungzips it?

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:50 PM

wouldn't that also have the downside that more data is transferred to the client? like the browser downloads 15mb instead of 500kb?

VVenkat Dinavahi r2 => cloudflare => browser somewhere in there the file is getting unzipped, but...

dave•4/3/24, 3:50 PM

with no-transform:

r2 (gzip) => cloudflare => browser (ungzip)

without no-transform:

r2 (gzip) => cloudflare (ungzip and possibly recompress depending on the browser) => browser

VVenkat Dinavahi ahhhh, so cloudflare ungzips it?

dave•4/3/24, 3:50 PM

it'll recompress it to something like if the browser supports it

dave•4/3/24, 3:50 PM

if the browser only supports gzip, then iirc it'll just pipe it through

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:51 PM

ohhh ok but it's up to CF what to do so it not good to rely on that

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:51 PM

no-transform says don't touch it just forward it to the client

Venkat DinavahiOP•4/3/24, 3:54 PM

thanks for clarifying that

VVenkat Dinavahi ohhh ok but it's up to CF what to do so it not good to rely on that

dave•4/3/24, 3:59 PM

wellllll CF does do a great job imo. It's just really dependent on your use-case. Because OCR stuff is expensive (ish), I want to make sure I don't resubmit the same file that we've already processed because the hash changed.

Data retrieval is charged per GB when data in the Infrequent Access storage class is retrieved and is what allows us to provide storage at a lower price. It reflects the additional computational resources required to fetch data from underlying storage optimized for less frequent access.

Chaika•4/3/24, 4:02 PM

afaik it's every time for a file in the IA tier

Chaika•4/3/24, 4:02 PM

why we should consider it different from egress pricing

don't think you should, other then for the fact egress pricing is normally talked about as a network concept and GCS for example charges both egress + retrieval for nearline. It is the cost you'll pay for retrieving a file.

VVenkat Dinavahi Also, funny thing is I'm also dealing with storing OCR data 🙂

dave•4/3/24, 4:03 PM

which OCR API are you using?

wow perfect timing

adjlsncm•4/3/24, 5:41 PM

does anybody have any idea why im getting a type error when trying to upload an image to R2?

adjlsncm•4/3/24, 5:41 PM

kian•4/3/24, 6:25 PM

What is the error?

Unsmart•4/3/24, 6:31 PM

It technically isnt an egress charge so they can get away with it but realistically it is an egress charge yeah.

Unsmart•4/3/24, 6:32 PM

For 99.99% of people you will never use IA, it will only make a difference if you have like petabytes of data because the pricing difference on the storage is very tiny

Unsmart•4/3/24, 6:33 PM

iirc the difference of 1PB is like $15k vs $10k so if you have 1PB of data that you never access you save $5k/mo

Unsmart•4/3/24, 6:34 PM

I did some math on it the other week lol would never make sense for me personally
