I got pwned by my cloud costs

Thanks this is really helpful, I'm planning a delicate migration to a CDN and it's a tough choice. Cloudflare just seems like "an everything machine" from their marketing website, I'm struggling to understand how I would actually use it for a monolithic website + API.

It is pretty much an "everything machine". I think they are positioning themselves as a platform alternative to having a separate origin + CDN. i.e you develop your entire application with Workers + Durable Objects + R2.

As a CDN it's pretty great though, I have managed very very large properties behind Cloudflare and they have always gone above and beyond for us when big DDoS have came our way.
