A New Hope for Object Storage: R2 enters open beta

This post announces the open beta of Cloudflare R2, an object storage solution designed to eliminate egress charges. It details R2's internal and external APIs (In-Worker API and S3-compatible API), its features including object size limits and strong consistency, and its pricing model with a forever-free tier. Future plans focus on performance improvements, global distribution, and feature expansion such as TTL support, public buckets, pre-signed URLs, and integration with Cloudflare's cache.
