Cloudflare K2 serverless event streaming is a novel service with low-latency architecture details.
Summary
Cloudflare has launched K2 in public beta, a serverless event streaming service implementing a durable log on R2 object storage. Cloudflare states produce latency of about one second at p99; a tester reported end-to-end p99 of 7.5 seconds, which a commenter answering for the team said was higher than expected. Consume charges match produce charges per GB. By Steef-Jan Wiggers
