Thanks. I've been working on this for quite a while, and I'm excited to finally launch. Still have a lot of work to do on it though.

Do you support pushing to edge nodes? Push zones won't be implemented until later this year.

Do you support the Vary header across things like Accept & Accept-Encoding? Accept-encoding is used to decide if the reply is gzip'd, but other than that no. If you email me, I'll let you know when I'm finished implementing Vary.. it'll probably be this weekend.

Is the $25/mo for 100GB across multiple domains? yes. there's no limit on the number of domains.

Any plans for higher tiers? Yes.. there will be a couple of larger plans. In the meantime, you're welcome to email me if you need a larger plan.

The team is just me. I built this because it seems like every CDN focuses on enterprises, instead of the startup type websites I usually work on. I feel like most CDNs are a catch-22.. to get good performance at the edge, your website has to be popular enough to cache... but if your website is slow, no one is going to use it, so the CDN doesn't cache it. So this actually caches your files at the edge, even in areas where your website is less popular (so you can actually build up an audience in that area of the world).

As far as the website being quicker, it uses a web app framework I've developed over the past decade + the CDN (which I wrote in Golang and C). I've worked on various startups over the past 14 years (nothing big though).
