Announcing stuff that is never released seems to be a common pattern for Cloudflare. They announced their AWS S3 compatible competitor "R2" over 18 months ago [0] without a release, and became very silent about it. At this point it is just vaporware.

- jgrahamc 5y agoAs was stated in the earnings call for Q1: "We're on track for R2 to progress to open beta in Q2 and then be generally available in the second half of 2022." So, very soon now.
- littlecranky67 5y agoGreat to see some progress. But the fact that it is only announced in an earnings call - where you kind of have to answer such questions - makes me sceptical. There is probably a reason why there is no mention of R2 anywhere on the Cloudflare site or other channels targeted towards developers?
