- judge2020 5y agoThis is often a business decision. Cloudflare's bandwidth is free, and with smart tiered caching my operation serves 6TB a month while only paying out 125gb of AWS egress (with extremely hot files).
- infinitone 5y agoWait can you please elaborate more? I have a site that gets a ton of traffic and my biggest bill is AWS cloudfront bandwidth... how can i reduce this using cloudflare?
- oblio 5y agoSwitch out Cloudfront for Cloudflare. Or put it in front of it, if that's what floats your boat.
- AtNightWeCode 5y agoWell, the currently most used paradigm for building web is that you see the edge servers as your classic web servers and then see the cloud as a service layer. Good for security and scaling. Maybe you can achieve the same thing within AWS.
