I briefly tried R2 and there were so many issues and absolutely no way to contact anyone at Cloudflare about it.
Backblaze weren’t much better - they at least have support but they won’t actually fix any issues even when you hand them scripts that reproduce the issue.
I’m evaluating Bunny’s S3 storage now, but I can’t use it for production while it’s still in beta. I had problems with it but Bunny listened and actually fixed them, to their credit.
R2 outage took out some of my files I have backups but I did lose like 2 hours of stuff(nothing critical, I have increased number of different services I write to). I have heard some people lost a lot more, I don't really care I didn't use it for anything serious but I was planning to so this scares me.
So please if anyone at cloudflare is reading this, can we slow the slop down a bit, how does one take out R2, it seems like a fairly simple-ish service to not have something like this happen...
I recently complained about the agents thing as well. Please don't make me have to figure out how to move services again, I am tired folks.
I am a long time Cloudflare user, I have been moving more and more of my stuff to the platform. Maybe I don't pay much but I don't use the services too much either.
I understand the issue, I am just tired of having to keep up with outages on a regular basis, and this isn't even for my day job, everything in software is down every single day, Github is down, Cloudflare is down, AWS is down, GCP is down, what's next..
Either way since my saturday now feels ruined, I am giving up on Cloudflare. I guess.
It was good while it lasted. I would still like a good post-mortem on how this happens so regularly, and preferably some accountability?? (I expect neither though)
