That's huge, Could you explain a bit more on how you achieve that? I've been exploring Cloudflare cache, AFAIK for anything not cached by default you need a special page rule e.g. for .html, I tried a wildcard domain.com/* and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Are you using workers to cache specific file types?

Yes: Using Workers as an api gateway and the Cache API as CDN.

Thanks, what type of files do you serve through that?

executables, raw binary files (like apache parquet), and (rarely) json.
