rafaelturk··on CloudFront vs. Cloudflare, and how to reduce response times for both (2021)
CF have more options, filters, settings, realtime reports, rules and statistics..

Additionally CF ofers a good set of system managed WAF rules that you can simply active and CF will manage it for you.

With AWS you're basically on your own. More or less is a bare bones WAF tool.

I've migrated from CloudFront+AWS WAF to just CloudFlare given Cloudflare's superior (100x better) WAF/Firewall/DDOS protection at a lower cost

This looks really cool. Albeit feels that it is actually a feature implemented in the driver (client side) so my initial impression is that is not a meanignfull innovation on the server side. This can be implemented with any Database, even with current MongoDBs
