Really great writeup. The charts tell the story beautifully, and the latency gains are surely a win for your company and customers. I always wonder about the tradeoffs. Is there a measurable latency difference for your non-colocated customers? What does maintenance look like for your Go servers? I assume that your Cloudflare costs dropped?

It’s faster for non-colocated customers too weirdly

I think cause connections can be reused more often. Cloud flare workers are really prone to doing a lot of TLS handshakes cause they spin up new ones constantly

Right now were just hang aws far hate for the go servers, so there really isn’t much maintenance at all. We’ll be moving that into eks soon though cause we are starting to add more stuff and need k8s anyways
