Migrate from S3 easily with the R2 Super Slurper

What's this blog post about?

The text introduces R2, an S3-compatible globally distributed object storage that allows developers to store large amounts of unstructured data without incurring costly egress bandwidth fees. It announces the launch of the R2 Super Slurper feature, which enables users to move all their data to R2 in one giant slurp or sip by sip through a user-friendly interface and API. The first iteration allows for a simple, one-time import from an S3 bucket into an R2 bucket. Future developments include automatic sip by sip migration, allowing users to start serving objects from R2 as they migrate, saving money immediately. Currently, the feature targets S3-compatible buckets, with other sources expected to become available in 2023. To access the private beta of the R2 Super Slurper, users must be R2 users and sign up for the waitlist.
