Hi all!
I am using R2 with its S3-compatibile API and so far it is working nicely - data is protected and everyone is happy.
The R2 bucket is in Europe, and I have noticed latencies for US and ASIA clients. Is there any way to use the Cloudflare CDN for this? I would to still keep the S3-compatibile interface but use the geo-proximity a CDN offers…
Thanks!!!
Luigi

If you use a custom domain with your R2 bucket, you can use the Cloudflare cache as normal…

Hi @sjr
thanks for the hint - will it work with S3 api from the client side? I can’t find this mentioned anywhere in the docs

thanks!

Do you mean, are responses cached if using the S3 api? If so, I’m not sure on that as it’s not something I do, but I would guess not as the caching is likely just built on the usual Cloudflare caching mechanism for HTTP requests.
