Consider something else if…
- Cloudflare: The workload needs Cloudflare's edge-compute or storage products alongside the CDN — those are priced and profiled separately (see Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare R2), not part of this plan.
- Bunny CDN: Traffic skews heavily to the Middle East or Africa — the regional rate there is six times the Europe/North America price.
