# Store application data

Web applications need different storage types for different workloads — relational data, key-value lookups, file uploads, and real-time state. Cloudflare provides serverless storage options including D1 (SQL), KV (key-value), R2 (object storage), and Durable Objects (strongly consistent state).

## Solutions

### D1

Serverless SQL database built on SQLite, with global read replication. [Learn more about D1](https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/).

* **SQL database** \- Full Structured Query Language (SQL) with global read replication built on SQLite

### KV

Globally distributed key-value storage for low-latency reads. [Learn more about KV](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/).

* **Key-value storage** \- Fast globally-distributed reads for configuration, sessions, and cached data

### R2

S3-compatible object storage with zero egress fees. [Learn more about R2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/).

* **Object storage** \- Store user-uploaded files and assets with no egress fees

### Durable Objects

Stateful objects with strongly consistent storage and coordination. [Learn more about Durable Objects](https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/).

* **Real-time state** \- Strongly consistent coordination for collaborative features and live data
