Thats still work, breakpoints using devtools works like any other source. Its not the same but helps.

CF Workers (that runs WebAssembly) are all over place. They may not run the main logic (not the actual Ngix, or DNSEC code) but they are used for several maintaince tasks.

Discord is the place to go. All CF Devs are there.

I got on particular fix one time in just a few minutes, and scalated pretty quickly. I got a recomendation fix on my side (a code change on my deployment that cover the problem) and a permanent fix on CF side 4h latter (time that took to changes propagate to all colos)

" Apps that want even more control can move to using full-on Durable Objects (which will soon support a SQLite database per-object)."

Can you elaborate this little bit more? Im using DO today and i have a bad time sharding my data (works, but i hate it);

So i will have the option to use the standard store or/and SQLite?

If so, i dont can keep with my DO (because i have control of everything) and use SQLite for things that is bigger than what the value store supports.

There’s is a billing notification system but will not cut the service.

Yes there’s products on CF that cost a lot of money. Like Argo. So… just don’t use that kind of product? All prices are clear. We are discussing the “free” CDN services. You will never get a random bill for that.

I have few PB traffic of videos served from R2... that's fine. They just don't want to compete with they own solution.

Was computed related, but he find a loop role on his business contract. He was right by the legal team os the service, but they used a another term that make they right to not work with us anyway. His document ID was banned (he cant create accounts with his name/id anymore).

I dont remember the details, but was related to the free limits per account. And if my memory serves, he was in the plan that he can create how many parent accounts he wants for free. That plan does not exists anymore.

Maybe before, but now no cacheable content should be part of the basic SLA i think.

But they still need to clarify that. Maybe that is just a bandwidth constrained by plan not by type.

My POV as customer for 5 years, doing mostly Video and Binary transfers and asked to move to enterprise few times (and still on the Pro plan, never had any interruption):

They will NEVER says specifics bytes or anything like that (any cloud provider that has any abuse prevention clausule will not too)!

If you says that a "large" file is 100mb people will just gamble and split the files in 100mb chunks. Same for any value here. The idea is mostly about pattern recognition (any abuse detection algorithm) and how much do you pay and how much you are costing.

Bandwidth is cheap for CF but they dont want anyone gaming the system, i will upgrade for enterprise at some point mostly because the SLA, but at the time im writing here, i pay $20 month for a service traffic that cost (to me) hundreds `per day` on AWS or GCP...

People here talk like they multi million dollar project will be blocked because some user downloads a 10mb file on a free plan. But if you really have a critical product you can get enterprise plans starting at $1500 dollars, hardly more than 3K. The enterprise plan is mostly about the SLA than actually services; Thats not the reality of mostly of the people. The basics plans are very good for almost everyone IMHO.

My rule of thumb of any cloud service / provider: You will for sure get deals that will cost very little to you, that is 10x/20x cheaper, but once you "savings" are on the 100x range you may find someone on the other side trying to make you to pay more. I have a friend that was banned from GCP for that reason (long story).

Another example: Hetzner - You can do a lot with the "free" 20TB bandwidth... But do not think that just because theres a number here theres no "catch" for some "creative flow", we got blocked once, was a mistake and is resolved but anything free has abuse protection rules (sometimes not writen) and will find you.

Tunnels should be part of Cloudflare Access and they mention "GRE tunnels" and WARP with not mention about content type or bandwidth limit.

Sir, you are probable the best CEO of this universe.... On alternative reality you company has a Search Engine (count with me to help with that) and doesn't need any advertise to keep that running, also has "don't be evil" as code of conduct and actually apply that....

But yes, no one is perfect, but at end of the day i really prefer your business model that does not need break users privacy.

Enterprise plan can carry, but as far I know, will not make be much more than 2500-3500;

Maybe they should create a Enterprise that has a flat price and be self subscribed. And a “Corporate” for people that needs several limits more than a “basic” enterprise that they offer. Or just stop that and put a price on things.

The basic enterprise is fair just for the SLA. (Depending the size of your business)

Thats problem is for CDN product. On R2 like other Developer products (KV, Worker, DO) you are already paying the bandwidth over the storage price. All those products can be used to HTML and non-HTML product.

https://www.cloudflare.com/supplemental-terms/#cloudflare-de...

Thats the major problem of the CDN product, they dont say that are no traffic fee, they just say they will not charge you "except" on some cases (that you never know). But other products they are very specific of the egress fee, like Stream, Magic Transit, Spectrum, etc.... They should fix that matter on CND, no one like that.

Sure, i dont know what will happen if someone just try to make a youtube like over R2... They probable "want" that....
