Nice to see more and more pushed to the edge, and good that it's only the beginning of the week.
I'm a little surprised they stuck with the isolates model when moving to include generalized compute. We found isolates to be ideal for a cache layer, but it doesn't have first class support for many languages: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/native-golang-support-for...
Very interested to see if they expand on their storage options throughout the week. Additional consistency guarantees in their KV offering would make it more competitive with Dynamo. I'd love to see a managed relational offering like Cockroach, or perhaps the addition of CockroachCloud to their bandwidth alliance.
One point I'm disappointed about is that they list API Gateway and DNS Queries (per MM requests) at $0.
This may be true if you're deploying on a single domain with Cloudflare, but if you're a SaaS and need SSL for custom domains, Cloudflare bumps you into their enterprise offering that costs a minimum of thousands per month, and (we found) netted out to about $5-10 per month per hostname:

(I recognize this is a different way of metering, but listing both at $0 feels like they're arguing DNS & TLS termination cost nothing at Cloudflare, and that was far from our experience)
