Cloudflare R2

Cloudflare R2 is an S3-compatible object storage service that eliminates egress fees, making it dramatically cheaper for applications with high read traffic.

Key Features

• Zero Egress Fees: No charges for data transfer out
• S3 Compatible: Works with existing S3 SDKs and tools
• Global Distribution: Automatic replication across Cloudflare's network
• Workers Integration: Native access from Cloudflare Workers
• Infrequent Access Class: Lower storage costs for archival data

Core Capabilities

R2's S3 compatibility means you can use the AWS SDK, rclone, or any S3-compatible tool without code changes. Combined with zero egress fees, this makes R2 particularly attractive for applications serving large files or high traffic volumes where traditional cloud storage costs would be prohibitive.

For vibe coders already using Cloudflare's ecosystem, R2 integrates seamlessly with Workers, Pages, and the broader Cloudflare platform, enabling powerful edge computing patterns.
