I feel like Cloudflare is becoming more of a cloud computing platform with a focus on global "instant" delivery of services than a CDN company.

Of course, they're also a really competent CDN company, but they're really leveraging all their experience in that domain to bolster up their compute offerings.

Cloudflare wants to be the defacto "Cloud 2.0" company (where AWS is "Cloud 1.0").

Where Cloud 1.0 is laregly just a "lift/shift" of OnPrem to Cloud.

Cloud 2.0 is hosting on the Edge and infrastructure built completely different than anything legacy from an OnPrem (or lift/shift) mindset.
