So kind of a mini Cloudflare?


Sort of, yeah, but with a heavy focus on businesses who want to offer custom domains to customers of their own apps. For example, how Shopify lets you connect your own domain to their platform (not a customer, just an example).

Also a different business model (pay a monthly rate for servers in however many regions you want) with some different benefits and trade offs. CloudFlare SSL for SAAS didn't publicly exist when I started this, and it's economics ($2 per domain) still don't make sense for a lot of apps.

In the future, I'll probably look at whatever CloudFlare will have a hard time offering under their business models, and do those so that people have options. Even just the same features but with different pricing models can be really useful to companies with different constraints and goals.
