Cloudflare R2 Local Uploads is now in open beta, reducing upload request duration by up to 75% for cross-region uploads. The feature writes object data to storage near the client first, then asynchronously replicates it to the bucket's region while maintaining immediate accessibility and strong consistency. It uses Cloudflare Queues for background replication tasks and requires no additional cost beyond standard Class A operation fees. The feature is ideal for globally distributed users where upload performance is critical, though it's not available for jurisdiction-restricted buckets.
