> It brings the power of edge computing to your own infrastructure.
I like the idea of self-hosting, but it seems fairly strongly opposed to the concept of edge computing. The edge is only made possible by big ass vendors like Cloudflare. Your own infrastructure is very unlikely to have 300+ points of presence on the global web. You can replicate this with a heterogeneous fleet of smaller and more "ethical" vendors, but also with a lot more effort and downside risk.
Is some sort of decentralised network of hosts somehow working together to challenge the Cloudflare hegemony even plausible? Would it be too difficult to coordinate in a safe and reliable way?
But do you need 300 pops to benefit from the edge model? Or would 10 pops in your primary territory be enough.
