Who is this best for?

This is the fastest way to decide whether Cloudflare R2 is in the right neighborhood.

Best for
  • Egress-heavy workloads serving public content (media, downloads, assets)
  • Teams already using Cloudflare and wanting tighter ecosystem adjacency
  • Buyers optimizing for pricing mechanics over hyperscaler breadth
  • Products that need S3-style object storage without hyperscaler governance overhead
Who should avoid
  • You require deep enterprise governance features tied to a hyperscaler ecosystem
  • Your workload depends on hyperscaler-native integrations across many services
  • You need guaranteed parity with every S3 feature and edge-case behavior
