Let's look back at 2023: Welcome to Wildebeest: the Fediverse on Cloudflare https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-wildebeest-the-fedive... Wildebeest ceased maintenance one month after the article's publication, adding a similar comment several months later[1]: > :warning: This project has been archived and is no longer actively maintained or supported.

Why so much management/onboarding complexity if you really want to compete with AWS as a general-purpose cloud? (edit: spelling)
