Comment on In what way am I the product when using CloudFlare's free tier?

It costs cloudflare basically nothing to host free customers ( if you start to push real traffic you will get an instant call from sales). By being a free customer you are basically a guinea pig for all new features as they are rolled out globally.

How much traffic before the sales team comes knocking?

They have an upper limit. https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/
A couple of my products went WAAAY above that and you essentially have to get a quick standard plan. If you have this problem, congrats, you are probably doing something really well or really bad!
They are not as bad as say AWS / Azures offerings when it comes to billing. Arguably, theres a reason they are still around when there are other tools that do similar things. Used to be, it was the most solid part of the infa. Nowadays….its for some reason going down quite often. And not just the world-wide issues taht everyone else is seeing. We have a product that CANNOT go down and cloudflare has been responsible for a couple of big issues, which is really unfortunate. Its still the best “work” service for what they do, but I dont have any of my personal infa connected.
