They offer a serverless platform.

If you want free egress, you can check Wasabi: https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/#three-info

I've been using Wasabi for a project where cost is more important than anything (i.e. a side project with reasonable scale that can't accept income) and on that front it is great. (S3 costs have been atrociously high to us sometimes.) For CDN-type resources we do a Wasabi bucket with Cloudflare with caching set very high. Reliability has been the only problem; it's not awful by any means, but there are a lot more "hiccups" using it. You get what you pay for, I guess.

That said I'm looking to see if just using R2 is a big improvement. It'll cost more but the reliability and performance might be worth it for us.

Wasabi charges for your largest file for 3 months.

You only get "free" egress for the size of your storage.

Correction: Wasabi charges 3 months storage for all files. If you upload a file and immediately delete it, you pay for that storage for 3 months.
