Summary
This post introduces three new features for Cloudflare R2: Event Notifications (open beta) which allow triggering Cloudflare Workers via messages sent to a queue when R2 data changes; Super Slurper for Google Cloud Storage, enabling data migration from GCS to R2; and Infrequent Access storage class (private beta) for cost savings on less frequently accessed data, with an example of direct upload and mention of future object lifecycle policy automation.
