Ask HN: How many businesses/startups run on Cloudflare?

On HN

We all heard multiple stories of launching on AWS or GCP but wondering if its same to launch a business on the cloudflare platform. They are chepaer to run compared to AWS/GCP and I dont hear too mmuch about this and wondering if there is something I miss. In this particular case, I can even refer customers who want private cloud to create a cloudflare account which would save them money relative to their private cloud on AWS/GCP. Looking for any experience or guidance on this

I see one reason why: I was running my whole thing on Cloudflare whereas I do need one MCP proxy all the time and if I run that one thing on GCP it suffers from latency so moving all my stack there now. The extra cost is for control of docker/kubernets which gives me on prem as well. So I kinda answered my own question of how to deploy both on CF as well as move away from it
