What is it? A micro-service on Cloudflare Workers + R2 that takes a JSON manifest of URLs / S3 objects / small uploads and streams a ZIP archive on demand. Goal: push the CPU & I/O cost of zipping to the edge and keep origin servers light.
Current status Still wiring up the Worker; no public demo yet.
Who is it for?
- SaaS apps that need “export everything” bundles or data packs
- Static-site / marketing teams publishing large asset packs from the edge
1. Do these plan limits feel reasonable?
• *Free* – 10 GB/month, 50 MB per ZIP, TTL 2 h
• *Pro* – 1 TB/month, 500 MB per ZIP, TTL 7 d, uploads ≤ 5 MB each
2. Does the *manifest → lazy-zip* flow make sense from a DX standpoint? Any obvious pitfalls?
3. If you wouldn’t rely on Cloudflare edge cache for large ZIPs, what would you use instead?
4. Has anyone tried *flyzip.io* (their sign-up seems closed) or other similar services? What worked / didn’t?
