Oh neat

My organization was considering an enterprise contract but it turned out to be more expensive than buying a bunch of business plans and after discussion with Cloudflare aside from flat rate billing for certain services we would not benefit much from the enterprise plan

Yeah. We do get 1 Business and after being MVP for a bit 1 Enterprise as well (some got more, like me).

Yeah. It’s not a big step up itself for the features, it’s easier to deal with pricing and custom configs. Also the free Spectrum and some additional entitlements are good, but those are per account at least for us. The ENT (without personalization) it’s cool just for being able to have some analytics improvements like Logpush.

Yeah imagine it’s a good plan, my specific organization wasn’t ready to make the investment

Oh yeah, I have seen and heard things I can’t share about costs of the plan which are extremely high. Glad I don’t have to pay for it ahah

They quoted us $4,000 lol

A month

Paid annually

Well that’s the minimum they said

They’d have to look at traffic levels and have a meeting with us first before a final quote

Yeah. I was told the bare minimum is 2500$/month, but it’s pretty rare. I know there are 1M $/year customers...

Yikes that's expensive

I know on the business plan if you have an excessive amount of traffic they will disable your access to certain data centers unless you upgrade to Enterprise. The threshold is about 10 petabytes of data in a month

If you are on free or pro they will tell you to upgrade or they will suspend the zone

Yeah, it also depends a lot on what services you are using. Spectrum for example is extremely expensive even on Ent. Argo somewhat as well.

😬

I can imagine. 10PB/month is a lot. It's a 30Gbps constant traffic level. It would max out my local POP alone. Enterprise has gives you all POPs, but it's always so weird with the routing.

It is less of an issue when the traffic is distributed. A friend of mine ran an image hosting website and used Cloudflare as it’s CDN.

Eventually they shut down not because of Cloudflare but because Hetzner could not add any more disk space with volume storage

Oh wow.That is a lot of images. Now he could use Workers to split traffic 😛

Sure. But it's still a lot for the money.

A cool project that we used for the Community i built using Workers (and a Google Script with a Sheet uploading to KV, @User), not that it stresses it much, is this https://cloudflare.manfredi.io/

The pages are hand-coded for now, it was v0.1 basically... then I had less time and didn't redesign it. I will one day ahah

this is dope @User

i was literally just talking to someone about the POP locations and realized i didn't know where the closest one was

(i think it's houston based on this map)

In the connection stats it actually tells you where you are connecting to (it varies by website, mine is a sample of 1 unfortunately) and in the map there is the support for adding your location to the map... Unfortunately there is no way to do a latency test to specific POPs without revealing POP specific IPs which I don't want to do or using a ENT-only API.

Also, this is a few hundred lines of Google Apps Script to parse the Status page, extract airport code and city, geo-decode them and add all the relevant details. Updating automatically every 10 minutes, just because I can ahah

I need to add a test for the POP format though, because you guys change the ordering over there sometimes and the assumption I made is true only 99% of the time messing everything else up sometimes.
