Google is part of Cloudflare's Bandwidth Alliance [1] which is removing most egress fees. Google still charges for egress, but it's half of what AWS is charging. We moved everything off of S3 anyway and have been using Cloudflare's R2 storage along with Google Compute Engine instances. R2 can be a little flaky, but the cost savings for us more than makes up for it.

Can you give a few more details on the flaky nature of R2?

Does it lose files? Fails to write but gives an error? Fails to read sometimes? Silently fails?

I'd like to know this as well!
