Cloudflare Is Inching Closer to AWS Territory
Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) does a lot more than speed up and protect websites. The company's global network, which now spans more than 330 cities around the world, puts about 95% of the global internet-connected population within 50 milliseconds (ms) of a Cloudflare data center. Cloudflare has rolled out a vast number of features, products, and services since its inception that leverage this network and remove pain points for customers.
Increasingly, Cloudflare is pushing deeper into the developer-services market. The company isn't a traditional cloud provider, like Amazon Web Services. While developers can spin up virtual servers and choose from hundreds of other complex products on AWS, Cloudflare has kept its focus on launching products that make developers' lives simpler.
Cloudflare Workers was one of the earliest additions to the company's developer platform. It allows developers to upload chunks of code to Cloudflare's network, putting that code close to end users.
