large video file storage and delivery

in all honesty i just need to talk to someone whos done this kiinda thing before because i have a working thing i just need to figure out how to do it better. storing large videos (10+gb, 1hr ish) is a pain in the butt in terms of cost and how to do it efficiently. i have done it in aws s3 bucket and cloudfront for delivery but have run into the it cost a bunch and can't really change video quality.

I think you are looking for R2 -> https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/ (a pun on S3 I guess)

Overview | Cloudflare R2 docs
Cloudflare R2 Storage allows developers to store large amounts of unstructured data without the costly egress bandwidth fees associated with typical cloud storage services.
