What is Cloudflare?
Подробно
Cloudflare was founded in 2009 by Matthew Prince + Lee Holloway. Today $30B+ market cap. 2026: 320+ POPs in 100+ countries, 60M+ websites on its network, 50M+ requests per second peak.
Product stack 2026: (1) **CDN** — global cache, automatic. (2) **DDoS protection** — L3/L4/L7, automatic mitigation. (3) **DNS** — fastest globally (1.1.1.1). (4) **WAF (Web Application Firewall)** — OWASP Top 10 rules. (5) **Workers** — V8 isolates edge compute, $5/M requests. (6) **R2** — S3-compatible object storage, 0 egress fees. (7) **D1** — SQLite at edge. (8) **KV** — global key-value store. (9) **Pages** — JAMstack hosting (Vercel-style). (10) **Stream** — video CDN.
Pricing tiers: **Free** — basic CDN, DDoS L3/4, DNS, 100K Workers requests/day. **Pro** $20/mo — mobile optimisation, image polish, advanced security. **Business** $200/mo — full WAF, 100% uptime SLA. **Enterprise** $5K+/mo — dedicated support, custom rules.
Cloudflare vs Vercel/AWS: (1) **CDN-only** — Cloudflare is cheaper, with more global POPs. (2) **Compute** — Cloudflare Workers cheaper, simpler. (3) **Database** — D1 SQLite limited vs AWS RDS / Vercel Postgres. (4) **Combined stack** — Cloudflare ecosystem cheaper, AWS more flexible.
Craftwebstudio uses Cloudflare for: (1) DNS (1.1.1.1 fastest). (2) DDoS protection. (3) Image optimisation layer (Polish). (4) Rate limiting via Workers. Vercel handles the application; Cloudflare wraps it. Combined cost: Vercel Pro $20/mo + Cloudflare Pro $20/mo = $40/mo total.
Examples
- 1Stack: Cloudflare DNS + Pro CDN + Vercel app + Sanity CMS = $40/mo full
- 2Workers rate limit: 100 req/min per IP, $5/M requests cost
- 3R2 storage: 0 egress fee — 80% saving vs AWS S3 in traffic-heavy use cases
- 4WAF rules: block Russia/China bots, empty user-agent, suspicious patterns
- 5Image polish: original JPEG → Cloudflare → AVIF + WebP automatic
