Sippy helps you avoid egress fees while incrementally migrating data from S3 to R2

What this post added

Introduced Sippy, an incremental migration service for copying data from S3 to R2. Sippy leverages application requests to copy objects to R2 simultaneously when they are requested from S3, thereby reducing egress fees. It works by serving objects from R2 if found, and if not, returning them from S3 while also copying them to R2. This allows for gradual migration and cost savings. The post also details how to enable Sippy via API and suggests pairing it with Super Slurper for full migration completion.
