The fastest incident narrative can hide the evidence needed for a safe request-path decision.
On-call speed protects application developers, while verified causality protects R2 data and compatibility.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Our upload retried three times, then worked, and my incident channel still has no answer.”
Thanh Siripong · Application Developer
Runs a media application whose uploads and reads depend on the R2 request path.
What is at stake
Intermittent puts leave application developers waiting while on-call engineers reconstruct evidence across the request path. You must weigh faster incident context against the risk of treating an AI-generated causal story as fact.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- faster incident context vs verified causal claims
- on-call speed vs request-path correctness
- cross-system evidence vs clear ownership
- reusable workflow vs narrow safe scope
Why Cloudflare
R2's S3-compatible gateway carries every object operation between application developers and storage or metadata layers.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
