I don't understand, why don't you use cloudflare? Don't they have an unlimited egress policy with R1? Its way more predictable in my opinion that you only pay

Its way more predictable in my opinion that you only pay per month a fixed amount to your storage, it can also help the fact that its on the edge so users would get it way faster than lets say going to bare metal (unless you are provisioning a multi server approach and I think you might be using kubernetes there and it might be a mess to handle I guess?)
- mcmcmc 2y agoCould have something to do with Cloudflare’s abhorrent sales practices.
- keepamovin 2y agoCan you tell me more? I think my business needs some abhorrent sales practices. That's how it's done, right?

- keepamovin 2y agoWow, okay. That's a little too extreme. How is cloudflare acting insecure when so large? hmmm, confused.
- ryao 2y agoI suspect that is the result of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/sales/comments/134u0mq/cloudflare_ceo_publicly_calls_out_sales_team_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/sales/comments/134u0mq/cloudflare_c... They got rid of all of the “underperforming” sales people and hired new ones. That nightmare is the result. I suspect the higher the sales performance, the more likely they were doing things like this.
