Manage sinks

Last updated Oct 1, 2026 Learn how to:

  • Create and configure sinks for data storage
  • View sink configuration
  • Delete sinks when no longer needed

Create a sink

Sinks are made available to pipelines as SQL tables using the sink name (for example, INSERT INTO my_sink SELECT * FROM my_stream).

Dashboard

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Basin Pipelines page. Go to Pipelines ↗
  2. Select Create Pipeline to launch the pipeline creation wizard.
  3. Complete the wizard to create your sink along with the associated stream and pipeline.

Wrangler CLI

To create a sink, run the basin pipelines sinks create command:

npmyarnpnpm

npx wrangler basin pipelines sinks create <SINK_NAME> --type r2 --bucket my-bucket

yarn wrangler basin pipelines sinks create <SINK_NAME> --type r2 --bucket my-bucket

pnpm wrangler basin pipelines sinks create <SINK_NAME> --type r2 --bucket my-bucket

For sink-specific configuration options, refer to Available sinks.

Alternatively, to use the interactive setup wizard that helps you configure a stream, sink, and pipeline, run the basin pipelines setup command:

npmyarnpnpm

npx wrangler basin pipelines setup

yarn wrangler basin pipelines setup

pnpm wrangler basin pipelines setup

View sink configuration

Dashboard

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Basin Pipelines > Sinks.
  2. Select a sink to view its configuration.

Wrangler CLI

To view a specific sink, run the basin pipelines sinks get command with either the sink ID or sink name:

npmyarnpnpm

npx wrangler basin pipelines sinks get <SINK_NAME_OR_ID>

yarn wrangler basin pipelines sinks get <SINK_NAME_OR_ID>

pnpm wrangler basin pipelines sinks get <SINK_NAME_OR_ID>

To list all sinks in your account, run the basin pipelines sinks list command:

npmyarnpnpm

npx wrangler basin pipelines sinks list

yarn wrangler basin pipelines sinks list

pnpm wrangler basin pipelines sinks list

Delete a sink

Dashboard

  1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Basin Pipelines > Sinks.
  2. Select the sink you want to delete.
  3. In the Settings tab, go to General, and select Delete.

Wrangler CLI

To delete a sink, run the basin pipelines sinks delete command:

npmyarnpnpm

npx wrangler basin pipelines sinks delete <SINK_ID>

yarn wrangler basin pipelines sinks delete <SINK_ID>

pnpm wrangler basin pipelines sinks delete <SINK_ID>

Caution

Deleting a sink stops all data writes to that destination.

Limitations

  • Sinks cannot be modified after creation. To change sink configuration, you must delete and recreate the sink.
  • The Basin Catalog Sink does not currently support writing to R2 buckets into a different jurisdiction.
