Interesting. I have a webm media website where I've migrated hundreds of thousands of videos about that size from s3 to b2 with thousands of additional per month with almost zero issues. I didn't even have/need retry logic until I was on horrible internet from a beach for a month where long connections were regularly dropped locally.

Felt TTFB and download speed were great too considering the massive price difference compared to s3. Though also used Cloudflare workers anyways to redirect my URLs to my b2 bucket with caching.

How well can you cache the worker responses on CF? Can you prevent spinning one up & therefore incurring costs after the first given unique URL request is handled? Looking into now.sh for a similar use case (audio), but pondering how to handle caching in a bulletproof way as I'm afraid of sudden exploding costs with "serverless" lambdas...
