  yeah i don’t understand why clouflare isn’t competing head on with cloud providers. Imo they should acquire fly.io, give them a blank check and 2 years and I think they can take down aws. The reason aws is dominant is because it’s the default and a known quantity. But developers and cost conscious organizations will look at alternatives. Not saying it would be easy but the prize would be huge. Plus AWS seems in chaos with a lack of sensible leadership.

    Same, I see it as the single missing piece in the puzzle. If they had a VM product then for small businesses it'd be such an obvious choice, especially if they provide anywhere even just half the nice integration with their other products as they do with workers. I'm guessing it's just because they're so extremely all-in on every single of their products being on the edge, and you can't make that work with VMs without becoming far more expensive than any of their customers would pay. Or maybe I'm clueless. But it sure looks that way from the outside.
