Compared, or should I move to DO Storage? I'm on S3 right now.

I've had a couple different people using an R2 integration I built tell me that once in awhile the backend gets an HTTP 499 response from the R2 API. The API class I built already retries automatically for server-side errors (5xx). I'm trying to decide if R2 returning 499 should also be a "retryable" response. Looking into it, 499 is supposed to mean the HTTP client disconnected. But if the HTTP client disconnected, how is it getting the 499 response from the API call from Cloudflare? I'd think 499 would only be seen on the server-side. Kind of weird that a client gets an HTTP response back before it disconnected telling it that it disconnected.

If the API is just passing through a response it gets from a backend server, wouldn't it make sense to change that to a 5xx response as it passes through?

Hi all. I was initially interested in R2 because I thought it was replicated and wanted to use it as a pseudo-CDN. But a few forum threads have suggested there's no replication at all. Is that the case? And would there be any problems connecting a domain and enabling "Cache Everything" for a R2 bucket? I understand that'd be a TOS violation if it was a normal website, but can't find any info re: whether that's different for R2-backed domains. cheers

Its not replicated and you can cache anything you want with r2

Nice, thank you. I'm setting up a media CDN for my app using R2 + a "Cache everything" page rule on the connected domain. The domain will be on the Pro plan, not Enterprise. So just to be crystal clear, that's fine? Also, are assets automatically purged from a connected domain's cache when updated/deleted in R2?

Yeah should be fine but if you have any concerns you should consult a lawyer who can actually tell you if the terms allow what you want. And no you would have to purge it yourself

@Unsmart | Tech debt Sorry, I thought you worked for CF. I'm hoping a representative will reply. Seems crazy to have to go to a lawyer to get an answer for that.

I dont think anyone who does work at CF would reply to those kind of questions unless you are enterprise and get specific guidance on allowance for it

there are many posts by employees here and even a blog post saying it's fine. no idea why people keep saying to ask a lawyer

Theres employees who do say cache is fine with r2 generally yes

Ok thanks. Tried to find some previous posts on the subject but Discord's search is meh.

Could you send me the blog post? The only blog post on R2 I've seen was the one introducing it, and I didn't notice a mention referring to caching everything from an R2 bucket being fine (compared to caching everything from a standard site I mean).

hmm it doesn't specifically mention this customer using R2 but it does repeat the thing with that restriction not applying to the developer platform (R2 is part of it)

The issue is that the DevPlat Supplemental terms are still slightly ambiguous on what counts as “content” that is allowed to be served. And in the end, the TOS is what will be enforced

some useful messages in here (I'm sure there are more, you can also find some in hacker news): https://discord.com/channels/595317990191398933/940663374377783388/1020009253228007485 https://discord.com/channels/595317990191398933/1006376008347287584/1007011452252598272 (and the rest of that thread)

didn't search very long

there's also that guy who was serving multiple PB of video from R2 which accidentally triggered some temporary limit on his account until he posted here and got it lifted (confirming it was ok)

👋 Hello, I am facing Error 500 when I try to fetch objects from my bucket

Hi we are also getting errors with r2 and workers at the moment, all our sites our down

500 errors as well

mine works fine, is it maybe limited to a specific region?

We are seeing our traffic down globally 🤔 so maybe some group of buckets

Seems to be recovering now for us

yep, seems up

thats a lot of cat videos

I’ll make it easy: it’s fine to use a custom domain to cache + serve content (including video content) backed by R2. If you are not using R2, then regular terms apply.

Hi guys, I just have a question about using S3 API to access R2 service. If I use the endpoint generated by Cloudflare which is sth like xxxx.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/bucket_name, this works. But cloudflare seems to provide another way to access bucket by using domain hosted by cloudflare.
