For us it came down to supporting various technologies we need for our application and a few extra that we are actively using.

1. mTLS 2. Websockets 3. Bot Mitigation (credential stuffing) 4. Workers

We need mTLS and Websocket support. Other providers in the space may support one but not the other which is a problem.

Curious to learn about your websocket CDN needs. Mind elaborating on the use case.

The CDN aspect isn't really vital to our application or business needs at this time. We really liked the security aspect more and we could check off quite a few boxes without having to build that ourselves, ie, IPRM, WAF, DDOS.

Websockets was a requirement in the application at that time and of course we knew we we needed to remove it as a dependency and we have for the most part.
