> we'd only be able to offer real "edge compute" to a small number of big enterprises with deep pockets, rather than at prices affordable to everyone What a nice way to formulate the tradeoffs between cost and security. When Workers came out with huge headlines about performance and cost I was very disappointed to find out there was no special technical wizardry behind that but just conscious trade-offs in disregard to customer data security. Workers simply skip all the sandboxing steps other providers take to implement a multi-tenant application runtime in a secure manner. So far the mitigations in place seem to make the possibility of Cloudflare customers getting bitten by a V8 vulnerability unlikely instead of impossible. Sure, the platform has interesting ideas and I'm looking forward to try it out as a full-stack serverless platform. I just cannot foresee running anything serious on it before they come up with a more convincing security story.
