Cloudflare verdict

The most cost-effective way to run global infrastructure, provided your workloads fit the edge runtime.

  • Largest edge footprint available
  • Zero egress fees on R2 change storage economics
  • Security and performance from one vendor

GitHub verdict

The default, and correctly so. Evaluate GitLab only if you need a single self-hosted DevOps platform.

  • Largest ecosystem and integration surface
  • Actions covers most CI needs without a separate vendor
  • Talent familiarity reduces onboarding cost
