(n = 1 & all) A project I co-develop pushed 30TB to 60TB per month on Cloudflare Workers in the past (for months on end) for $0. No one called us to sign 6 figure contracts.

Workers are a very different product so I'm not too surprised by that. The main workers payment model is entirely concerned with CPU use and you must be minimizing that.

    Do you have a counter example, or is this just your assumption?

      Actually, I have a really good counter example but I'm unwilling to share it publicly, as I don't want to dox myself.

      But the gist of it is that CF sales are really good at identifying users that are both locked into their offerings and big enough to be able to sign an expensive contract.

      CF do have an excellent offering and workers, in particular, are amazing for many things.

      Once the above conditions hit though, you will invariably get a call from the sales team. There is no free lunch.
