Seems its still in closed beta: https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/cloudflares-r2-st...

But yeah, comment sounds so weird for a non released product.

Ah good so it actually does exist in a way that's more than a spec, that's good enough for me.

I'm in no rush with that slurp mode or whatever they called it, just hadn't heard of anything more since the announcement :)

I acknowledge it may not happen but cloudflare hasn't done anything to make me doubt them.

Isn't backblaze still just a single datacenter?

There is nothing weird postulating about using a storage service with the lowest price among cloud providers with (planned) free egress on a show HN thread.

You are certainly free to disagree if free egress actually matters but cloudflare R2 is the first to offer free egress AFAIK. B2 may be cheap at 1¢ / GB but that still adds up once you start moving TBs around.

Lots of variables and unknowns and room for debate.

I suspect CF R2 may get popular and multiple tools will work with CF. Why not?
