If a company wants to succeed in this space, they have to be killers. Cloudflare is positioning for domination.

From what I can see, there’s reasonable competitors for CF’s offerings, but extremely limited parallels to their free tier. The free tier is the killer.
Exactly this. If I’m doing something big enough to pay for it, I would almost never choose Cloudflare. But as much as I dislike them, for my small projects there just isn’t an option better than their free tier.
Like who?
Akamai or Imperva maybe? No personal experience, but they seem to offer similar suites of WAF/DDoS/CDN products.
What about Workers?
