Yeah calling this self-hosted is confusing. Everything about it is built on non-portable, proprietary products exclusively available from and hosted by Cloudfla

  It's a strange choice of words. Lot of folks walked on cloudflare after they tried to shake down $120k from one of its customers that was publicized on the internet There is stream of unhappy (rightfully so) cloudflare enterprise users that CF seems oblivious about. But the damage is done. We are moving to Fastly. Sucks because we built so much around Cloudflare.

    > We are moving to Fastly. Sucks because we built so much around Cloudflare. Are there concerns about getting locked into Fastly’s cloud services instead of Cloudflare’s? Will you use some level of abstraction to make the deployment more portable, or that’s another bridge to cross if needed?

      Even if they end up with exactly the same level of lock in, and even if the new service is no better, it is still not totally pointless to react to something you don't like by leaving. It is the single solitary only lever anyone has in the world we've built.

  What terminology would you use instead to differentiate it from a SaaS solution? Someone suggested "self-operated" elsewhere in the thread. Thoughts?

    Self-operated makes some sense, but if the idea is that you don't have anything to operate maybe self-deployed is better? I'm not sure where to draw the line to differentiate it from a SaaS. For example Salesforce is clearly SaaS, but is also an application platform with a built-in database.
