StackPath is 10/10

Not sure if this will be helpful for a lot of people, but I’ve been a StackPath customer for a while now, and they’re updating their WAF/CDN soon to be a more integrated solution like Cloudflare with their Edge Compute.

I know a few here think Cloudflare Enterprise is the be all and end all but when you compare it side by side to StackPath or Fastly there isn’t a lot of difference - apart from around 6k per month minimum price starting at.

I’ve just gotten to 2k domains with StackPath and their support, team, static cache is 10x better than our experience with Cloudflare Enterprise when we had it a few years ago.

In conclusion, don’t believe the hype!

Hi.
I am also looking for other alternatives to Cloudflare. Can you tell me how much you pay for these domains?

Adrien

Zoinkies Very nice. How would you concretely integrate it?
Using CF DNS and from there we would plugin to StackPath CDN?

Thanks Zoinkies

AdamM 1$ each per domain 27$ per 1TB Bandwidth

I think using the StackPath DNS would be better, you'd get a easier process by not having to manually valid each domains SSL, you could even use StackPath API to create DNS templates with StackPath's DNS, and use StackPath Anycast as A records.

As long as enhance team build the DNS to be a bit more modular, plan ahead for proxy/cdn/cache integration into packages anything with an API could be supported.

I personally love Bunny, their WAF is coming "Soon" but they're great here in AU, One of the best CDN's here - would love to see them supported as well as everything else people are using.

Not a fan of StackPath pricing but they do bring a lot to the table, Hope that the Enhance team see third party DNS is well requested and give us a bit of vendor choice with third party DNS.

Adam

The framework we have built for CloudFlare support is indeed modular and uses a message queue so zone synchronisation doesn't slow down the panel.

We can feasibly add support for Bunny.net, StackPath and any similar provider with an API in the future.

Looking forward to it, My idea to sponsor the bunny addition is still open, I'm sure many others here would do the same for their choice of DNS/CDN - currently one of the bigger pain points for me.

AdamM

For me, the best solution would be to build your own infrastructure with Enhance and not use other services.
But... It requires a lot of work and the costs will not be small either.
Own global dns services, cdn on own servers, load balancing and much more
I've always wanted to build my own efficient infrastructure

Don't be a jack of all trades, be an expert of one.

fbaye yes I know, it is difficult to do

@Adam Bunny is awesome in terms of network quality, POP placement, price and instant support. I will wait for it to be officially supported.
