I experience everyday the slowness of pushing big images (ai related tend to be big) to ECR on our cicd.

I wonder whether the folks at Cloudflare could take the ideas from the blog post and create a high-performance serverless container registry based on R2. They could call it scrubs, for "serverless container registry using blob storage" :P

  No, I don't want no scrub
  A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
  Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
  Trying to holla at me

I just point out that AWS ECR is exactly that, thin wrapper around S3. See for example https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/APIReference/AP...

Hopefully someone gets inspired by this and implements a thin wrapper using CF workers.

Edit: CF already did it https://github.com/cloudflare/serverless-registry

I didn't expect that! It's a pity they don't expose an API for parallel uploads, for those of us who need to maximize throughput and don't mind using something non-standard.

You mean this?

A Docker registry backed by Workers and R2.

Ah, that's great! I'll have to look into it :)
