Nov 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-11 - Payload management team: - Delivered dynamic prefix support for the R2 adapter to align with the S3 adapter, enabling flexible, multi-tenant file storage paths. - Ensured uploads honor dynamic prefixes set via hooks (e.g., beforeOperation) by updating the R2 handleUpload path construction. - Fixed path construction in storage-r2 to use data.prefix when present, falling back to the configured prefix otherwise, improving consistency in tenant-specific storage.
