Very similar to lambda@edge

Trade offs I see

* Cloudflare is probably slightly closer to customers, but cloudfront is still very close

* lambda@edge should be cheaper with amazons scale and ecosystem

* cloudfront itself is very expensive compared to Cloudflare, almost every project can integrate Cloudflare and use this, where small projects don’t really make sense for cloudfront

I suspect price will have more to do with the tech's underlying ability to scale to lots of (separately-sandboxed) customers at lots of edge locations. Our tech is pretty different from Amazon's so it will be interesting to see how that shakes out.
