CF Workers (that runs WebAssembly) are all over place. They may not run the main logic (not the actual Ngix, or DNSEC code) but they are used for several maintaince tasks.
Discord is the place to go. All CF Devs are there.
I got on particular fix one time in just a few minutes, and scalated pretty quickly. I got a recomendation fix on my side (a code change on my deployment that cover the problem) and a permanent fix on CF side 4h latter (time that took to changes propagate to all colos)
Yes there’s products on CF that cost a lot of money. Like Argo. So… just don’t use that kind of product? All prices are clear. We are discussing the “free” CDN services. You will never get a random bill for that.
Was computed related, but he find a loop role on his business contract. He was right by the legal team os the service, but they used a another term that make they right to not work with us anyway. His document ID was banned (he cant create accounts with his name/id anymore).
I dont remember the details, but was related to the free limits per account. And if my memory serves, he was in the plan that he can create how many parent accounts he wants for free. That plan does not exists anymore.
My POV as customer for 5 years, doing mostly Video and Binary transfers and asked to move to enterprise few times (and still on the Pro plan, never had any interruption):
They will NEVER says specifics bytes or anything like that (any cloud provider that has any abuse prevention clausule will not too)!
If you says that a "large" file is 100mb people will just gamble and split the files in 100mb chunks. Same for any value here. The idea is mostly about pattern recognition (any abuse detection algorithm) and how much do you pay and how much you are costing.
Bandwidth is cheap for CF but they dont want anyone gaming the system, i will upgrade for enterprise at some point mostly because the SLA, but at the time im writing here, i pay $20 month for a service traffic that cost (to me) hundreds `per day` on AWS or GCP...
People here talk like they multi million dollar project will be blocked because some user downloads a 10mb file on a free plan. But if you really have a critical product you can get enterprise plans starting at $1500 dollars, hardly more than 3K. The enterprise plan is mostly about the SLA than actually services; Thats not the reality of mostly of the people. The basics plans are very good for almost everyone IMHO.
My rule of thumb of any cloud service / provider: You will for sure get deals that will cost very little to you, that is 10x/20x cheaper, but once you "savings" are on the 100x range you may find someone on the other side trying to make you to pay more. I have a friend that was banned from GCP for that reason (long story).
Another example: Hetzner - You can do a lot with the "free" 20TB bandwidth... But do not think that just because theres a number here theres no "catch" for some "creative flow", we got blocked once, was a mistake and is resolved but anything free has abuse protection rules (sometimes not writen) and will find you.
Sir, you are probable the best CEO of this universe.... On alternative reality you company has a Search Engine (count with me to help with that) and doesn't need any advertise to keep that running, also has "don't be evil" as code of conduct and actually apply that....
But yes, no one is perfect, but at end of the day i really prefer your business model that does not need break users privacy.
Enterprise plan can carry, but as far I know, will not make be much more than 2500-3500;
Maybe they should create a Enterprise that has a flat price and be self subscribed. And a “Corporate” for people that needs several limits more than a “basic” enterprise that they offer. Or just stop that and put a price on things.
The basic enterprise is fair just for the SLA. (Depending the size of your business)
Thats problem is for CDN product. On R2 like other Developer products (KV, Worker, DO) you are already paying the bandwidth over the storage price. All those products can be used to HTML and non-HTML product.
Thats the major problem of the CDN product, they dont say that are no traffic fee, they just say they will not charge you "except" on some cases (that you never know). But other products they are very specific of the egress fee, like Stream, Magic Transit, Spectrum, etc.... They should fix that matter on CND, no one like that.
Sure, i dont know what will happen if someone just try to make a youtube like over R2... They probable "want" that....
"The Cloudflare Developer Platform consists of the following Services: (i) Cloudflare Workers, a Service that permits developers to deploy and run encapsulated versions of their proprietary software source code (each a “Workers Script”) on Cloudflare’s edge servers; (ii) Cloudflare Pages, a JAMstack platform for frontend developers to collaborate and deploy websites; and (iii) Workers KV, Durable Objects, and R2, storage offerings used to serve HTML and non-HTML content."
You can use non-HTML content on R2, DO and KV.Thats was updated, if i'm not mistaken few months ago.
2.8 Limitation on Serving Non-HTML Content
The Services are offered primarily as a platform to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless explicitly included as part of a Paid Service purchased by you, you agree to use the Services solely for the purpose of (i) serving web pages as viewed through a web browser or other functionally equivalent applications, including rendering Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or other functional equivalents, and (ii) serving web APIs subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8. Use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our Supplemental Terms for a specific Service. If we determine you have breached this Section 2.8, we may immediately suspend or restrict your use of the Services, or limit End User access to certain of your resources through the Services.
But realistic we can serve a lot of content (any content) before trigger any problem, that includes video. I have a one App that does several GB per month (including images/video) on Free plan, and other one using few TB/month on Pro Plan... I will probably upgrade to the business plan after when i get close the 1PB, but no one ask me too.
My experience says that no one will contact you about any egress if you are not trying to implement any file host site, youtube-like VOD service, etc.
