Cloudflare R2 or R2 is a service offered by Cloudflare, a well know web enablement company that has extended its offerings with object storage through a web service interface.

Cloudflare R2 can store any type of object, which allows uses like storage for Internet applications, backups, disaster recovery, data archives, data lakes for analytics, and hybrid cloud storage.
Our Cloudflare R2 Storage DataLakeHouse.io integration:
- replicates files stored in your R2 buckets to your Cloud Data Warehouse target
- synchronizes to your target destination at a scheduled frequency
It allows you to replicate/synchronize your data, including capturing snapshots of data at any point int time, and keep it up-to-date with little to no configuration efforts. You don’t even need to prepare the target schema — DataLakeHouse.io will automatically handle all the heavy lifting for you.
All you need is to specify the connection to your R2 bucket, point to your target system, or use a DataLakeHouse.io managed Data Warehouse and DataLakeHouse.io does the rest. Our support team can even help you set it up for you during a short technical on-boarding session.
