It looks like Cloudflare cut egress pricing for workers unbound to $.0045 per GB, but that’s still half of AWS or “40x markup” for me in Canada. The original workers model of pay per execution is incredible. IIRC I figured one run is the equivalent of 6KB of egress at AWS. Is there a point where Cloudflare will start charging egress on those if I transfer too much? I want to use it for something, but don’t like the “free bandwidth until you hit the invisible limit” side of things Cloudflare has going. 1. https://blog.cloudflare.com/workers-unbound-ga/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/workers-unbound-ga/

There's a typo, it's $0.045 per GB (half of AWS, as mentioned). I got excited for a second!

Cloudflare argo pricing (basically stay on the CF network) is almost identical to GCP Premium Tier and AWS default tier. They claim it does some cool optimizations to traffic path, no different to BGP optimizers - it is simply ridiculous to presume GCP/AWS doesnt optimize their routes too on a continous basis - yet apples and oranges doesn't apply CF says. I applaud CF nudging AWS to reduce bandwidth fees and things like bandwidth alliance but they sure do a hold my beer on hypocrisy.

  and what doesn't make sense about that, is in some respects argo reduces load on their network, because your origin makes a single outgoing connection to cf, that is then used to route traffic to you, reducing the effect of 3-6 packet tcp/tls connection start.

    That's technically Argo Tunnel tbf - their naming is worse than Google's, CF pushes pure Argo as better path from CF ingestion point to origin server because it now goes CF ingestion -> CF network -> Nearest CF network pop to origin -> origin, they claim non Argo is usually CF ingestion -> transit all the way -> origin which is probably more expensive for them too.
