But yeah, comment sounds so weird for a non released product.
- corobo 5y agoAh good so it actually does exist in a way that's more than a spec, that's good enough for me. I'm in no rush with that slurp mode or whatever they called it, just hadn't heard of anything more since the announcement :)
- leetrout 5y agoI acknowledge it may not happen but cloudflare hasn't done anything to make me doubt them. Isn't backblaze still just a single datacenter? There is nothing weird postulating about using a storage service with the lowest price among cloud providers with (planned) free egress on a show HN thread. You are certainly free to disagree if free egress actually matters but cloudflare R2 is the first to offer free egress AFAIK. B2 may be cheap at 1¢ / GB but that still adds up once you start moving TBs around. Lots of variables and unknowns and room for debate.
