My guess: new development-intensive products like the 1.1.1 DNS, Wireguard, WAF etc plus general scaling and growth on one side, and increased competition from established cloud services on the other.
After all, if you are already on eg AWS, just using Cloudfront is temptingly easy. (even if bad from a redundancy perspective)
- judge2020 7y agoAWS also offers a managed WAF - https://aws.amazon.com/waf/ https://aws.amazon.com/waf/
- qes 7y agoIt's easy, but we're saving thousands of dollars a month using Cloudflare instead of our cloud service provider's CDN (~250TB/month), and that's without any kind of discounted egress agreement between our cloud service and Cloudflare (which is supposed to be in the works, but it's been literally years with no further word)
- zymhan 7y ago> just using Cloudfront is temptingly easy IMO this is giving way too much credit to AWS
- stingraycharles 7y agoAssuming you’re already integrated on AWS, just using Cloudfront is a lot easier than Cloudflare. You’re likely already using S3, maybe use CloudFormation as well. Then it’s often much more straightforward to use AWS services rather than a third party provider.
