Five providers, plated as courses. Read each dish, note the price and the allergens, and compose the pairing that suits your stack. Prices reflect publicly listed rates as of mid-2026.
The chef's signature: a complete edge platform on one plate. CDN, DNS, free SSL, WAF, bot defense, and Workers compute folded into flat fees, with no per-GB charge on standard website plans and the most generous free tier on the menu.
A dish that sings in the AWS kitchen. 750+ PoPs with embedded ISP locations, finished with the house specialty: zero egress when pulling from S3, EC2, or ALB in-region, a cost that lingers on every other plate.
The smallest kitchen (~90 PoPs) yet the quickest pass. Lowest P99 TTFB on cached segments and instant global purge under 150ms, with Compute@Edge running Wasm directly in the request path for à la minute manifest work.
The founding house, still serving ~30% of all CDN traffic from a 4,100+ PoP ISP-embedded cellar. The safest pour for global live events past a million concurrent guests; Adaptive Media Delivery handles LL-HLS natively.
The value plate that overdelivers. From $0.01/GB with no request fees, a structural advantage for segmented video that piles up requests per GB. A friendly dashboard and request coalescing make it the easy order for WordPress, static sites, and thrifty tables.
No single course satisfies every appetite. Cloudflare for breadth, CloudFront for AWS, Fastly for speed, Akamai for scale, Bunny.net for value. Compose the menu your stack is hungry for.
