Cloudflare incident on February 6, 2025

This post details an incident where Cache Reserve experienced increased origin requests due to the unavailability of R2, its underlying storage. While Cache Reserve itself did not fail, customers saw an increase in requests to their origin servers as assets became unavailable in Cache Reserve during the R2 outage. This highlights the dependency of Cache Reserve on R2 and the cascading impact of R2 failures on other services.
