Hmm not sure I necessarily agree. Cloudflare's strategy has been looking like "the only platform you need" for a while now.

Their recent features / announcements have been equivalent to:

(LaunchDarkly)

Resend, Firecrawl, CrewAI, Helicone, Replicate, Pinecone

-

Which like… many companies have a painful procurement process. If all you need is Cloudflare, and prices are within reason- why not use them

Their quality of the products they ship have already became shitty for quite a while now.

they are quickly turning into a slop shop

instead of polishing their existing products (and most of them do require a lot of work) they jump into any other niche someone thought was a good idea. My guess is that with ai being able to prototype things quickly they just started doing everything that is even a bit relevant.

which won't end well

I think they were doing that before AI got big the last couple years.

Their core network stuff always seemed pretty robust but all the newer stuff was much more thrown together. Thinking specifically of Zero Trust/Argo Tunnels which has been around a few years (and I do like) but has some rough edges.

Don’t forget they now also have an OpenRouter alternative.
