The article doesn't talk about Cloudflare One, but I think that is a bigger opportunity than Edge computing in the short term, given the rise in ransomware attacks targeting tech-naïve institutions forced online due to the pandemic. Re: Edge: AWS has answers in Lambda at Edge (PoPs), Wavelength (5G Edge), and Local Zones (metro DCs); whilst Google has similar arrangements through its Anthos product line, if I'm not mistaken. Though, where Cloudflare shines is they architect their products to deploy and run from all locations around the world. Cloudflare also positions its ("global") products as being the simplest of all cloud providers to use. We stand to see how long they can remain as simple once they start ramping up on newer product lines and eventually have to support different integration points among them. The article points out that Matthew Prince, being a HBS graduate, quotes Clayton Christensen in his TechCrunch Disrupt Q&A; and from what little I gather, Andy Jassy comes from the same school of thought, as well [0]. I'm looking forward to more innovation from Cloudflare [1]. I've slowly moved all workloads that Cloudflare Edge could support out from AWS to it; only regret is AWS credits lay waste especially given we are pre-revenue. That said, Cloudflare's (limited) offerings are a better choice if you're a small engineering shop and couldn't be bothered with a gazillion bill items, IAM rules, and VPCs.
