I'd like Cloudflare to not do a Google and let a thousand flowers bloom only to let most of them wither. They seem to be taking on a lot just with their new public VPN service.

still 170K on the waitlist after 2 months? haha

Cloudflare folks. Please don’t do this. I don’t know if Mr.Cumming is serious. As a user of CF, I hope you folks go a lot deeper than broader. Example: Better cache management – compete with Fastly, my tickets on load balancer bugs were open for almost 6 months, etc.

What better cache management? What LB features?

The amount of business Cloudflare employees handle direct over Twitter, and the amount of responsiveness from their higher-ups on it is... kinda incredible. I imagine it's only practical because Cloudflare doesn't have a lot of public brand awareness beyond tech folks.

We care a lot about the product and the people who use it.

I’m amused this is here. This was a random reply to someone who thought maybe we were doing this. To be clear: that’s all this is. But I’m happy to hear all the suggestions.

Too bad, I was really excited about Gitflare :)

A configuration language for cache management (think Varnish VCL). If you can give us cache management for page sections, that'd be wonderful.

LB issues – ticket 1612791
