My long term understanding from Cloudflare blog posts is that network activity is actually incredibly cheap, moreso when you own a ton of the underlying infra.

Thing is, all cloud providers do own the pipes, so they just rent-seek on egress pricing. Cloudflare is disrupting that model.
- eastdakota 5y agoThis is correct. And largely a fixed rather than variable cost for us.

- liamwire 5y agoYou’ve very likely forced Amazon’s hand here wrt egress pricing, and yet this move alone has won my business even if everything else was equal. Bravo.
- sieabah 5y agoDo you have any mention on the speed of delivery from R2? That is the only avenue why I can see why paying for S3 is worth it. Sure egress may be free, but what's the point if I can't download a file faster than 1MB/s.
