Nice, and it seems to be quite cheap as well. It's unfortunate, tho, they don't talk about data residency: where are servers located? Where will my data be copied?

What would you like the answer to be? Do you need regional control over data storage like we do with this https://blog.cloudflare.com/supporting-jurisdictional-restri...?

Yes, definitely, EU regulated industries need to be 100% sure to keep data in EU datacenters

We plan to add support for data residency requirements on an object-by-object basis. In other words, if you need one object to stay in the EU and another to stay in the US and a third to stay in India you tag each object using the same API and we handle ensuring the residency requirements behind the scenes.

we just got this big grant that works with healthcare and genomic data for a new type of therapy in Australia, so we have jurisdiction requirements (data needs to stay within Australia, some data needs to stay within New South Wales). We're currently talking with your run of the mill providers, but I'd pretty excited to try this out with Cloudflare instead... esp. when previous similar projects have been hit with some nasty egress costs

It's still in development, so no details about that yet. Maybe their top tier DCs?
