CloudLink vs Cloudflare (Edge Only)

Edge and WAF are not a full DevOps team for your origin and cloud.

Why Teams Leave Cloudflare (Edge Only)

Cloudflare protects and accelerates the edge. CloudLink operates the cloud, Kubernetes, data stores, and on-call behind it.

Origin still burns

CDN cannot fix RDS, K8s, or bad deploys. CloudLink owns the origin stack.

WAF without operators

False positives and DNS incidents still need humans with a SLA.

No platform ownership

CI/CD, Terraform, and FinOps remain on you unless you hire CloudLink.

Tooling ≠ outcomes

You still need retainers for 24/7 production ownership.
