  • If you want to go even cheaper, try out Backblaze B2 or Cloudflare R2.
  • Pick Cloudflare R2 if you’ll put Cloudflare in front; egress to their CDN is zero and the API is S3‑compatible.
  • I’ve used DigitalOcean Spaces and Cloudflare R2

Cons

  • I’m using Node.js + Next.js (frontend/backend with React libs), SQLite with Prisma, and AWS SDK for Cloudflare R2 image/file uploads.
  • But by 2027 Rivian should be fully focused on making the mass-market R2 a success.
  • If it matters, I'm using R2 via the S3 API.
  • I was recommended the R2 or microdini by a Patagonia sales rep, what do you guys think?
  • I'd probably be one, knowing that I would lose the $7,500, I get a new EV, Equinox, now vs. waiting for the R2 or Ioniq 9.

I store all my images in Cloudflare R2 (which is their S3 bucket service). I then have a subdomain that points to my bucket, which caches the images. This has been my go to solution for many years and it's been great so far. It's saved me thousands of dollars over the years in bandwidth.

Reply: I've decided it's time to go back to the good old way of doing it. I rarely add new images to my site, so it makes sense doing this locally in my case.

I second R2. Rock solid and they use the same API as S3. It's nice not having to worry about bandwidth charges.

Cloudflare R2 is cheaper than AWS and they offer a free plan (10 GB) you can start with.

Switched to Remotely save and Cloudflare R2. Works flawlessly.

This and the Merc CLA likely lead the pack, maybe with R2 a half-step back.
