Cloudflare Makes R2 Storage Available to All; Provides Easy and Scalable Storage

Cloudflare announces that Cloudflare R2 Storage is the distributed object storage that eliminates egress costs. Cloudflare R2 Storage claims to be offering a better way for developers to store and access everything they need. Whether it’s storage for large media files, logs, or delivery of web assets, Cloudflare R2 offers flexibility with zero egress fees. R2 gives developers both an S3-compatible API, making for seamless migration and powerful integration with Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare’s highly scalable serverless computing platform.

Matthew Prince, Co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare.

“ Egress fees are nothing but a tax on developers, stifling innovation and creativity. We are redefining the standard of how developers work with object storage, allowing them to focus on innovation, rather than the costs of accessing their data. That is why R2 Storage will never have egress fees,” said Matthew Prince, Co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare.

Since launching the R2 Storage service as an open beta eight weeks ago, more than 11,000 developers have an active account with R2 Storage. With the global general availability of R2, developers are free to focus on innovation instead of worrying about the costs of storing their data, and can:

• Slash their cloud provider egress and storage bills
• Take advantage of the performance of object storage built with Cloudflare’s global network
• Unlock the power and scale of Cloudflare Workers within their applications
• Access data efficiently from anywhere
• Integrate R2 Storage across Cloudflare’s product portfolio
• Seamlessly fit R2 Storage into existing workflows
