The Cloudflare Discord is interesting. It's mostly maintained by community volunteers (Champs and MVPs), with team participation varying drastically from team to team. The community does a great job when they can, but it doesn't f

You would almost certainly have to be paying for an ENT agreement before you got anywhere close to 300PB of traffic, which would incur bandwidth fees. It'd still be significantly less than $27 million though.

This is seriously cool. From Twitter ( https://twitter.com/KentonVarda/status/1178723944007733251 ): > Not only does this use (much) less overall CPU and RAM, but it avoids delaying TTFB. Also elements you want t

If you're not familiar with Backblaze, they offer personal backup services at very affordable rates, but their best offering (in my opinion) is their B2 Cloud Storage ( https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.ht

You get 100,000 requests per day, not per month. The burst limits are definitely a concern for heavy traffic, but for just $5 you can remove the burst limits entirely, as you mention.

That was entirely my bad. I was moving a few things around.

And compresses them heavily.

Workers are also used for basic CORS headers, and stripping some other unnecessary headers. They're definitely not required, but I don't believe you can do URL rewriting with page rules; redirects, sure, but not rewriting.

You're very welcome - I'm glad it was helpful. B2 is significantly cheaper than S3, especially when paired with Cloudflare for free bandwidth. If you're interested, my company Nodecraft talked about a 23TB migration we did fr

As others have said, bandwidth costs can be absolutely insane with AWS. This was actually the primary reason we moved from S3 to Backblaze B2 as documented at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19648607 , and saved ourselv

Sure, but my point doesn't change. https://scotthelme.co.uk/the-power-to-revoke-lies-with-the-c... is a good write-up about that.

Browsers are moving away from showing differences between EV and DV certs nowadays though. And anyone can register a company name and get an EV cert - that doesn't make it trusted. https://stripe.ian.sh/ is a prime exa

We had to pick something that was "good enough" for compression time/size, as well as easy for our customers to download/view if they wish, on any OS. Zip being supported in every popular operating system, and the averag

I can't speak for Cloudflare, but we've talked to them pretty extensively about the whole project, and even did a case study about our use-case with the bandwidth alliance, and as we switched cloud providers. Things may change in

They're "backups" in the sense of storing customer data, but realistically they're more like instance snapshots for various customer game servers. They're created and restored multiple times a day for every customer

We do use Cloudflare, but a lot of the instance backups we store are multiple GBs - Cloudflare doesn't cache those. Not to mention uploads from regions like Singapore can be very slow all the way to the US. It's not a deal-breaker

We looked briefly at the snowball and fireball, but wanted to do this as quickly as possible, whilst keeping the process entirely transparent to our users. It was also an excuse for our team to get intimately familiar with the B2 API, since
