It is fundamentally different: concerning service offerings, your static site and your edge cache can both be handled by CloudFlare.

Maybe that’s a nitpick, but it probably feels earth-shattering to some, because it recategorizes CloudFlare as a first-class hosting provider (and soon-to-be application and database layer), not just a cache. Sort of like how Redis is now a first-class database, at least according to them.

Personally, I’m excited about this because it finally represents an edge someone has (no pun intended) that could compete with AWS’s services for JAMStack-style sites and apps.
