IMO Perfomance wise CloudFront and Cloudfront are quite similar.

I've migrated from CloudFront+AWS WAF to just CloudFlare given Cloudflare's superior (100x better) WAF/Firewall/DDOS protection at a lower cost

You missed a comma.

Out of curiosity, what makes Clousflare's WAF so much better?

With AWS you're basically on your own. More or less is a bare bones WAF tool.

This isn't accurate. AWS added Managed Rulesets several years ago: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/solutions/security/waf-ma...
