I appreciate their support for customization, but what I as a customer really want is pre-built, tested, supported, maintained, features.
For example, CloudFront has features that let me create redirects for different content to go to different origins and prefixes, but Cloudflare does not have this option. You can write a .js edge worker to do it, but I'd rather not trust the integrity of my site to some crappy javascript that I threw together, and I'd rather not have to maintain my custom code indefinitely. (Actually Cloudflare's support technicians will offer to write the custom code, but it's still not something I would like to have sitting out there outside of a VCS and SDLC, with bit rot, tech debt and other nasties lurking in the future)
- prdonahue 6y agoWe'll be releasing this functionality this year—some very soon, depending on what exactly you're trying to do. You'll be able to self-serve these in the Firewall Rules engine, which is being generalized to handle "Rules" broadly speaking (including Page Rules such as redirects, rewrites, etc.). If you drop me an email (pat at cloudflare dot com) I'll get you connected with the right PM who can put you on the beta list.
- drcongo 6y agoThis is good news. I've only ever used workers once, to do exactly this, and I found the documentation to be a little lacking.
