We went through this with E-mail: we slept through the period when Google, Microsoft and AWS were growing, and we ended up with them dictating the terms. Today I get 90% of my spam from Google, Microsoft and AWS and they don't care: they can safely ignore spam reports, because at this point they are Too Big to Block.
I have a feeling we are moving towards the same problem with Cloudflare and the web. Tomorrow Cloudflare will start dictating what we can or cannot do and we will not be able to do anything about it. This has already begun: their arbitrary "bot-filtering" for example.
No, it gets brought up in every single thread about cloud flare. And if this wasnt a feature release that people seem to like, the top comment would probably be talking about how cloudflare is terrible for the internet.
and im sure they can drive down the cost , compared to say launchdarkly
Only thing, they are going strongly in AWS territory and not in any good way. Finding what I need and what I use has become harder as times go by. By contast, Azure (MS) even though it looks crazy complex, once you get used to it, you can find things.
Can't even ship with app-scoped tokens...
