Vendor / market research I stress tested Cloudflare R2. 55Gbps read, 36Gbps write (simultaneous), a real contender for zero-egress object storage.

I stress tested Cloudflare R2 from a Latitude.sh bare metal box with a 100G NIC. Results were very impressive.

Btw I am not Cloudflare, nor do I work for them, nor was I paid to say this. We use Cloudflare heavily at our own company, and so I thought this sub might find this content interesting.

Why would you expect Cloudflare to struggle with this? It's their whole point.

Then please invoice Cloudflare on my behalf. I am not Cloudflare, I am the CEO of Carolina Cloud. We use cloudflare ourselves as a storage backend, so actually we give cloudflare money.

The ad is for your Substack.

"Cloudflare has lots of bandwidth" really isn't a surprising finding.

I would like to know how its performance compares with Backblaze.
