Interesting - given Cloudflare's real value proposition and domination of their sector, I've been half expecting Google to buy them for a year now.
Google are very good at internet plumbing, and I expect this to be a pretty compelling service. Serious competition and not being an acquisition target any more must have really hurt Cloudflare's value today.
- tyingq 9y agoI don't see any caching/cloud-egress-charge-avoidance here. This is only targeting a small part of Cloudflare's value proposition.
- meirelles 9y agoApparently, they don't support external origins yet. IMHO without this feature they can't be considered a direct competitor to CloudFlare. Also, CloudFlare lately is adding a bunch of very neat features, it's not just about DDoS. Of course, for those who are already using GCP and depending on their needs is a great alternative.
