So comparing to more traditional established providers like Cloudinary it's much cheaper and has less options? Seems reasonable. But surely pricing and analytics is something that needs to be resolved.
Something fundamental seems to have gotten out of hand when it comes to the entire offering.

It's easy to throw potshots from the stands, but from the article the whole thing sounds less than half-baked. 25% baked, maybe. One wonders what the spec and milestones are, if in fact it wasn't simply and plainly rushed out for business reasons.
Images get fetched from original, resized to the size needed by the client device (desktop vs mobile), and optimized to an appropriate format
I love Cloudflare, but these Image products are a black mark on their reputation. Every point the author says is 100% correct. I'll add one more point, which ended up making it a total non-starter: you can't import lots of images because their rate limits are so pernicious. If you have tens of thousands or millions of images, keeping within their single digit per second rate limit, which appears to be totally non-neg…
I kept getting frustrated with the complexity and changing costs of solutions out there, so about a year ago I launched https://www.simplefileupload.com. It's a super easy, flat rate cost solution to quickly allow users to upload images and files. It provides a customizable upload widget and serves files via a CDN and firewall to protect against attacks. It doesn't have query param image resizing yet, but it's coming!
> No way to retrieve original image that's probably the logical continuation of video hosting - if you upload something to, say, YouTube, you also don't expect to be able to retrieve the original video from there. It may be a high-quality version, but it still gets reencoded on upload...
We were charged $10k for the first month of use and immediately reverted the implementation. CF was kind enough to refund us since we're still an early stage co. It would be great if pricing was more reasonable
As a side note, after upgrading to Enterprise, I feel quite disappointed with CF. Caching and the core features work great, but other features feel much less mature, enterprise support appear slow and not that on top of things. Sorry for the rant, but needed to vent a bit :)
Cloudflare Pages has a show stoping bug at the moment. Link a repo from GitHub then change the name of your GitHub repo and the pages breaks but won't let you relink your Github repo anywhere. I opened a ticket with support. I have gotten no where in two months (Opened on October 7th 2021). We ended up switching to Netlify that has a more mature product. In case someone from Cloudflare cares to investigate this is re…
Email the CTO, he's always around here and he's very responsive.

Changing your repo name shouldn't break the project nor prevent subsequent builds. It's just the Pages dashboard will still show the old repo name - so the only way to update that is to delete the project and make a new one: this is a bug we're working to fix!
