Tigris and egress billing
I’m evaluating tigris (and fly itself) for my upcoming project.
I see on the tigris docs that there are no egress fees. However, fly does charge egress fees, and it only calls out that data transfer to tigris is not billed. It’s also unclear on the pricing page for fly tigris:

- Class A Operations: $5.00 / million requests
- Class B Operations: $0.50 / million requests

Cloudflare R2 (Standard)
- Data Storage: $0.015 / GB / month
- Class A Operations: $4.50 / million requests
- Class B Operations: $0.36 / million requests
- Data Transfer (Egress): Free
Assuming egress is free for both, I’d like to go with tigris to have everything contained in fly. But if fly’s egress fees apply, I will likely need to go with R2.
