Congratulations on the launch! I run production workloads on Workers too and there's basically endless potential, especially with their Unbound and Durable Objects product line. There's a tonne of SaaS opportunities to be built on top of those. Excited to see what else you folks add to the current offering. That said, I'm curious why zaraz isn't a Cloudflare "app" that I can "install" to my website? Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager are already sold on the Cloudflare Appstore by other third-parties and this works for me nicely, as a developer, because most of those are hands-off, straight-forward setups. So, pardon my bluntness, but as a developer, what is the unique proposition with zaraz versus running these Cloudflare apps (discounting the fact that open source versions exist too) that I'm failing to see?

Yeah, can't imagine how we would be able to do this without Cloudflare Workers honestly... It's a crazy powerful tool. As for Apps - I'm not sure I got your question but Apps they are mostly wrappers around other tools, so when we launch a self-onboard process we would definitely consider offering an CF App for easier onboarding. But really, it's not a big difference to our customers because all they need to do is add our one line script. If you meant why use Zaraz to load these tools and not Cloudflare Apps - that's simply because Cloudflare Apps still pushes those scripts into the page and slows it down.

This wasn't obvious to someone already familiar with Cloudflare apps (you may want to add that in the FAQ or somewhere). > ...Cloudflare Workers honestly... It's a crazy powerful tool I'll keep an keen eye out for what you build next! Thanks.
