Fastly, bunnycdn (if you're ok with just CDN), basedflare, quic.cloud, ...

Search for CDN or for "CloudFlare alternatives". There's a few more available on the https://lowendtalk.com/ forums.

Fastly is indeed fast. I did find the realized cost to be 10x more expensive that Cloudflare for my CDN/video/compute needs, and I found the Fastly sales team to be a tad aggressive. However the performance is usually better than alternatives, if I had the money.

Hi! Fastly employee here — we're working on improving our accessibility for individuals/ smaller workloads. Not sure your monthly bandwidth usage, but we do have a dev test account which can be used for up $50 free traffic (it's pretty generous, more than enough for a test site) and now includes two TLS certs: https://www.fastly.com/blog/your-most-requested-update-for-f...

Also, I lead a program at Fastly called Fast Forward, which stewards our open internet efforts — if your work is related to FOSS we may be able to arrange free services or deep, deep discounts: https://www.fastly.com/fast-forward :)
