Hey, is there someone here that can chat with me about the R2 server in a DM?
Don't want to take up too much of your space in the chat here, my company is looking to switch from AWS S3 to R2.
Posting here is preferred.
Could always open a thread and chat in that if you are concerned about taking up chat history space
Is there a way to set a hard cap so that I make sure I don't go above the limits of the r2 free tier at all?
I'm fine with it returning an error or whatever. I don't want to rack up a massive bill by accident.
No, you can setup Usage based billing Notifications to alert you if you get close though: https://developers.cloudflare.com/notifications/notification-available/#billing
Available Notifications · Cloudflare Notifications docs
Available Notifications depend on your Cloudflare plan. Cloudflare offers a variety of Notifications for our products and services, such as Billing, …
(but that is just a notification, it won't stop anything)
Do you know why a feature for this hasn't been added yet? Seems pretty simple to let the user decide if they want to return an error or risk getting a bill for a hobby project they forgot about.
Most Clouds don't offer complete shutoffs like that, I would imagine the reasoning being cutting people off can result in upset/confused customers, and it's probably not very easy to implement something like that. Cloudflare doesn't offer cutoffs with most products, the closest is Worker's free tier but that can be overran by quite a bit/takes time to act
Your new project blows up overnight and suddenly it's down, espec at bigger companies I can see a lot of confusion from that
and if it's not default/not many people would use it, why implement it?
Ah. I've been trying to migrate from b2 and they have a data cap feature. It's kind of annoying to have to worry about this now since I'm working on a project and I'm not a very experienced dev. I don't entirely trust my own security setup.
It would be nice if it was a feature that was at least there that could be disabled by default
Cloudflare offers unmetered rate limiting, you could add sensible rate limits to your upload/etc endpoints, and for retrieving objects, if you use an R2 Custom Domain you can use a cache rule to force caching, and any cached hits don't cost you anything, insulates you from attacks a bit. R2 is also just super cheap
The cheapness is why I migrated lol
I guess there's tradeoffs sometimes though
Thanks for the help
@Space are you done driving up my traffic numbers?
