Hello, I know you're the tech lead for the web workers at cloudflare so pardon my ignorance if I'm wrong.

At least for pure computer speed, I think he means that if you (cloudflare) and AWS got into an arms race in terms of allocated CPU/Memory to the webworkers/lambda, they have more raw resources to do so. They also have a global presence, not necessarily to the degree that you do obviously.

I highly doubt they would do this, and I think you have the superior product. I'm just a student/hobbyist so I admittedly don't have a ton of experience. I'm very biased towards CF, you guys are great! :D

Honestly, if that's what happens and Lambda end up priced more reasonably because of us I would consider that a victory, and a lovely outcome for the world.

That said, I also want people to build applications which run all around the world. I can only imagine what it's like for people in Australia to browse the modern Internet, but I doubt it's particularly fun and I'd like to help fix it if I can.
