The R2 section caught my attention. "R2 is like Amazon S3, but without bandwidth costs"
(Isn't that an interesting name, it's "S3"-1 haha)
I will echo one of the sentiments then... some of it seems too good to be true. So you could easily and supercheaply host a static website on Cloudflare, couldn't you?
Or... is this one of those initial offering prices, and after a lot of adoption it eventually reaches parity with other cloud providers like AWS/GCP/Azure?
I would be curious to know if someone is hosting serious enterprise applications in Cloudflare.
The email forwarding solution seems quite tempting too. I currently use hanami.run which is already cheap, but this feature is currently free. But again, for how long will it be free?
R2 is real. What's unreal is how much money Amazon is making off bandwidth costs. Cloudflare's blog goes into more detail about just how much money Amazon is making.
It's not totally free - they charge for "Class B" operations, which includes reading, and it'll add up if you're sending files to every person with an Internet connection, but we are still talking about an order of magnitude or few cheaper than AWS. For static website hosting, it's probably worth noting that Cloudflare has a free tier just for that.
