Why does Cloudflare need a web framework? Most obvious would be they think they can make money from hosting astro sites (like Vercel and NextJS). I hope Cloudflare's impact on Astro will be tiny. But another great thing being swallowed by big tech...


> But another great thing being swallowed by big tech...

I will never use Cloudflare if I can help it, but this outcome is preferable to Astro becoming abandonware.


There are so many more options than being acquired and abandonware. Its hard but there are many independent and stable open source projects.


This is overly cynical without reason. CloudFlare is hardly "big tech" even if it is a "big" "tech" company. They have no record of killing or abusing open source projects.


Maybe not by market capitalization but Cloudflare is used by around 25 % of the web. Internet giant in my books.


> CloudFlare is hardly "big tech"

yeah, it's still losing money

> according to Gemini

thanks for the unrequested slop!

you know what GAAP stands for?

"generally accepted accounting practices"

so what does non-gaap mean?

"non-generally accepted accounting practices"

aka: bullshit


why are you doing this?


Giving counterarguments? Wonder.


They are using astro starlight for their docs page and using astro itself in number of their landing pages.
