Given the pace of innovation and the type of products I've seen from Cloudflare over the past couple of years, it seems like they're on their way to compete with AWS and other IaaS by essentially reducing the need for infra itself. Basically what Google App Engine hoped to achieve but fell short of.
At work, we are running a programmable global proxy in front of our application and paying peanuts for it. Soon, we expect to cut huge cost when R2 is released and with products like their Zero Trust and Argo Tunnels, we hope to eliminate a lot of scaffolding and fluff from our infra.
Seeing their financials makes me very happy.

- donmcronald 5y agoI'm bullish too. I've always been extremely skeptical when it comes to vendor lock, but after a very shallow look at Pages + Workers with SvelteKit + Adapters [1] I'm ready to drink the Kool-Aid. Sign me up for the future where infrastructure is a pluggable cog that I don't have to think about if I'm not trying to build highly scalable systems. 1. https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapters https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapters
