For $work I reduced our cloudfront egress bill by over $2000 / month by putting cloudflare in front of cloudfront.

For a side project I likely wouldn't bother, but the pricing differential is really damn steep.



2000$ is a lot of traffic. way more than any side project would have.

I guess that if you are at a point where you are making decisions like you needed to you are out of the “easiest way to setup a static website” territory.

I would be curious what kind of content you were serving and how much traffic/what are the absolute $ numbers cloudfront vs cloudflare.


We ship about 800gb / day, half of which is image/jpeg.

Every byte that comes out of the cloudflare cache is a byte you don't pay for out of cloudfront, and cloudflare is only $20/mo.
