I had all of those projects already in my favorites except Headlong. Arround 4k+ stars.
And probably WIKI ingested 300 of them for recipes and best practices.
Haven't used the WIKI yet though...
Cloudflare build from the bottom up. First the SDN ( Software Defined Network), then the products on top. The first one was logical: CDN + DDOS.
All the rest continued to build on top of the SDN - Workers, D1, ... But once they have the full stack ( which happened arround D1), it was time to let others build on top of Cloudflare.
That's the current stage ( Cloud 2.0), that was always the goal. It's even in their ticker ( NET ).
In practise, AI could be a godsend. A total new foundation for software where the Cloudflare stack is a perfect product fit( disposable compute, where others will protect their compute with long running compute contracts). I can't blame them to try to seize the opportunity.
Tbh. I feels like the author hasn't actually adjusted to how Cloudflare is building it's cloud ( eg. how powerfull Durable Objects is).
PS. A big outage is a long time ago... ( we use them, I remember the issues those days and the post mortem, a lot became more stable as far as I noticed).
Check out Nebius
Their first products were production grade examples of the SDN that required a lot of bandwidth (DDOS/CDN).
The cloud is a logical continuation.
Their business was always the "internet", see their ticker => NET.
Dev free is part of the marketing cost and would stay under the current leadership.
Tried with 2 harnesses and it seems bad + slow
Works flawlessly
I've been using it since someone of Cloudflare on x mentioned it. Nice work man!
Healthcare and infrastructure was then build too, but the relation was already scarred and well, it's not easy to reset everything.
The king had a side biz
It means EU sovereign cloud. That's literally the primary concern.
US has too much influence atm. I'm ok with switching between "bullies".
The only thing he was successful in, was literally exaggerating and overselling his capabilities ( eg. He directed the apprentice, it's fake)
Luckily laws still stand somewhat.
( And Trump ain't smart enough)
A 400 million plane "donation"
Deploying a new docker instance or just restoring the app from a snapshot and restoring the latest db in most cases is enough.

Side note: the bills from cloudflare are much lower than the ones from AWS/Vercel when there's a mistake. The most I saw passing by was 150€, with Vercel and AWS > 10 k.
