Congrats Ben and team!
I think this is Cloudflare's most notable acquisition yet? From Wikipedia it looks like they've previously mainly acquired smaller cybersecurity firms like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_1_Security
Probably, but you can check out a more robust list here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/tag/acquisitions/
* BastionZero
* Kivera
* Baselime
* PartyKit
* Area 1
* Vectrix
* Zaraz
* Linc
* S2 Systems Corporation
* Neumob
* Eager
* CryptoSeal
* StopTheHacker
I don't know that this was an acquisition in the sense that the Replicate investors and team made bank. I don't see a price tag, and the market for these "run model" infra companies is pretty crowded.
This feels the most like Cloudflare branching out to something closer to a traditional hosting model and further from their networking efforts (though things like workers and R2 certainly have blurred that line).
