Not really a surprise, and the platform will very likely grow further, though I wouldn't compare CF to AWS in anything except the rise in popularity. I'd say they're "reinventing" cloud in a way. From my point of view, AWS is (mostly) IaaS, likes of Heroku - PaaS, whereas CF Workers and their "ecosystem" is primarly serverless, though - with these recent additions - they're expanding what this category of tools can do. It's a unique platform for sure.
- xwdv 3y agoYes it will be better than AWS.
- eropple 3y agoI used to work at Render, and I said often "Cloudflare is the iceberg - only ten percent of it is above the water and it's going to tear a big chunk out of the [PaaS] boat". Over time it seems more and more confirmable as a hypothesis.
- arek_nawo 3y agoTrue. I was actually looking at Render a while back to host my app. The Render Disks were the one feature I was most interested in, as no other PaaS provider I was aware of provided persistent disk storage. The prices were a bit too much for a side-project though, and with no managed MongoDB, I ultimately made the app not require the disk storage and moved to Railway.
- fzeindl 3y agoThe question is how the smart people at AWS who realized this too, will prevent them from rising to the top.
