#3This sounds badass to be honest. Having written some WebRTC browser applications from scratch, that architecture turns into a complicated mess real fast, I can only imagine the nightmare that becomes at less than well equipped tech startups. This sounds like the right way to actually solve the problem.

Dammit. We should have made the internal code name for this BADA55.

#7They really do want to be the center of everything it seems. I wish they would stop trying to be the Cisco of Networking in the sense of trying to convince a lot of people to let them handle critical network functions for a ton of networks.
All it will take is one major outage for everyone to see this is a bad idea.
Why trust a cloud provider who could go down and take half the Internet with it? Why centralize it that much where that is even possible?

I'm really getting tired of this kind of take. You never really see that if AWS adds a product, or GCP adds a product or any other products from bigger CDNs.
What do you suggest? Cloudflare should stop releasing products? Regulation that you are only allowed to handle x% of the total internet traffic?

They just keep building on top of the things they've already built that are working really well, expanding into related services. Doesn't seem that different from what AWS is doing, just with a different focus and in a different place in everyone's (or the Internet's) stack.

Regulation sounds about right. Monopolies are regulated in the real world, so why don't we do the same in the virtual one?
