Anakin Glares at Cloudflare for Missing the R2-D2 Naming Opportunity

Description

A meme using the Revenge of the Sith scene on Mustafar: a brooding Anakin Skywalker in dark robes glowers in the foreground, labeled 'Me', while Obi-Wan Kenobi stands behind him in the fiery orange haze, labeled 'Cloudflare not naming their file hosting & database as R2 D2'. The joke is that Cloudflare's object storage is actually called R2 and its serverless SQL database is D1 - leaving the perfect Star Wars pairing 'R2 + D2' agonizingly unrealized, a betrayal worthy of a Sith turn for naming-convention pedants

D2 was rejected after Legal discovered an unexpected foreign-key constraint to Lucasfilm.
