Cloudflare
CDN, DNS, DDoS protection and edge Workers — a generous free plan that powers a huge chunk of the web.
About Cloudflare
Cloudflare's free tier is the single most useful infrastructure plan on the internet: unmetered DDoS protection, global CDN, free Universal SSL, smart DNS and the most reliable nameservers you can point a domain at.
The paid layers add Workers (edge JavaScript and Python), R2 (S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees), D1 (SQLite at the edge) and an analytics suite. Free tier alone is enough for most personal projects and indie SaaS.
