I don't understand, why don't you use cloudflare? Don't they have an unlimited egress policy with R1?

Its way more predictable in my opinion that you only pay per month a fixed amount to your storage, it can also help the fact that its on the edge so users would get it way faster than lets say going to bare metal (unless you are provisioning a multi server approach and I think you might be using kubernetes there and it might be a mess to handle I guess?)

Regardless, if you are delivering PDFs, you should be using a CDN.

If crawling is a problem, 1 it is pretty easy to rate limit crawlers, 2 point them at a requestor pays bucket and 3, offer a torrent with anti leech.

Could have something to do with Cloudflare’s abhorrent sales practices.

Can you tell me more? I think my business needs some abhorrent sales practices. That's how it's done, right?

		I suspect that is the result of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/sales/comments/134u0mq/cloudflare_c... They got rid of all of the “underperforming” sales people and hired new ones. That nightmare is the result. I suspect the higher the sales performance, the more likely they were doing things like this.

		Wow, okay. That's a little too extreme. How is cloudflare acting insecure when so large? hmmm, confused.
