What is Large File Handling?
Handling large files on Cloudflare requires strategies to avoid exceeding size limits and ensure efficient delivery. Techniques include:
- Streaming: Processing files in chunks to reduce memory usage.
- Range Requests: Serving only the requested portion of a file.
- Cloudflare Stream: Using Cloudflare's video streaming service for large video files.
- R2 integration: Storing large files in R2 and serving them via Workers.
These methods allow you to handle large files effectively while leveraging Cloudflare's global network.
