I am here but I retired from being CTO of Cloudflare in March 2025 [1] and the current CTO is Dane Knecht (dknecht here).

quick piece of feedback, the workers architecture is a little bit annoying when converting from Lambda but hooking up to cloudflare MCP solves 90% of the issues

Not sure if it's the only blocker, but I wanted to use containers with UDP/SRT.

No per-request billing, portable devops - easier multicloud, known semantics (env variables, entrypoint, websocket lifecycle).
