Cloudflare R2

The service provides distributed object storage that can be accessed via the S3‑compatible API, allowing developers to store and retrieve large volumes of unstructured data. It is built on Cloudflare’s global network of data centers, which enables low‑latency access and eliminates egress charges for data transferred out of the storage system.

It is aimed at developers and organizations that need scalable storage for web applications, media assets, backups, or any workload that benefits from a multicloud architecture. The integration with Cloudflare Workers lets users run edge functions for authentication, request routing, and other processing directly on the network, simplifying deployment of data‑centric services.

What distinguishes this offering is the combination of S3‑compatible access, zero egress fees, and native edge integration. The platform also includes an automated migration tool for moving objects from other providers, supporting both bulk and incremental transfers without requiring extensive reconfiguration.
