I predict that Cloudflare will try to acquire Netlify in the near future. This product is getting pretty close if not entirely in direct competition with them.

- neom 5y agoCannot see that happening. Netlify is too big and has raised a lot of money, its already hard enough to deal with organizational debt once you become a public company. They acquired Linc, it was a pretty small startup and Glen Maddern their CTO is the engineer in this blog post. He also happens to be one of the smarter folks I've met. I really like the folks at Netlify and Vercel very much, all good people, but it I think it makes more sense that CF just takes the valuation of those two startups and tries to add it to their market cap organically.
- youngtaff 5y agoCan't see it happening… Cloudflare already have a better technology stack, that delivers a better visitor experience Netlify is Apache Traffic Server with bits wrapped around it, there's no CDN to speak of, limited feature set etc.
