Service architecture

This project is designed to use a S3-compatible object storage (via aws4fetch) as the backend storage and Cloudflare Worker KV as index. All requests are handled by Cloudflare Worker with the entry point fetch().
It is worth noting that Cloudflare Worker is run before the cache. Therefore, all requests will not be cached. Cache API is used instead to interact with Cloudflare cache.

Remark

You are welcome to use my project and depoly your own service.
Due to the fact that the SERVICE_URL is hard-coded into the paste.html, you may simply use Ctrl+R to replace pb.nekoid.cc with your own service URL.

Of course, contribute and report issues are also welcome! :D
