I wonder how much Fastly's pricing impacted this?
OT but my clients are small players (10s of GB traffic a month); but they value availability and low latency for their dynamic content. Fastly (and varnish) are ideal for this, but every time I talk to Fastly about services beyond the PAYG-CDN it's "min $2k/month", "$5k/month + fees".
I'd rather use them than Cloudflare, I've been accused of being a walking advert for Fastly - but they are pushing me towards other providers and proving actively hostile to small clients.
Good for them if they are raking it in from enterprise customers. But AWS manages to cater for both ends of the market, and it's a shame to see good services price themselves into "enterprise-only" territory.
