Our company was knocked offline by a DDOS attack. It continued all day unabated until we signed up for a free cloudflare account. That was easy.

Flash forward about 8 years and I find myself using cloudflare to stave off the immense suffering of Azure/AWS by using R2 and Pages. As soon as more people find out how easy Cloudflare is and how much it can lube a product deployment, I expect a lot more of the internet to end up there by choice.

Cloudflare deployed my app better/easier than Microsoft was able to deploy it to Azure (Microsoft owns GitHub and Azure and still didn't have their shit ironed out...Cloudflare just works).

I had to tweak them both but Azure took hours and cloudflare was a quick, cleanly documented change.

I wish they offered a service to host my nodejs APIs.

I like Azure, GitHub, AWS for a lot of things but Cloudflare has it's niches that are just better.

I haven't read into why Open AI uses Cloudflare instead of Azure services but I find it very interesting considering their Microsoft arrangement.
