What do you (or others) see as its advantages relative to other similar offerings like those of AWS, GCP, Deno, Netlify, etc.?

The main advantage to me is the dedication to using standardized browser APIs. They have done a really good job of applying the Service Worker API to the problem of server side functions, and having the whole system be “MDN compatible” just makes everything more straightforward and leads to minimal surprises.

Cloudflare offers web standard javascript API's out of the box and is very fast as is
