Network performance update: Platform Week

What this post added

This post details an update to Cloudflare's network performance benchmarking, expanding the measured networks from 1,000 to 3,000 and refining the methodology to include 'Wait time' in addition to 'Time to First Byte' (TTFB) for evaluating Cloudflare Workers against competitors like Fastly's Compute@Edge. It presents new performance data showing Cloudflare's leading position in a larger network set and outlines the updated testing approach using Catchpoint and real-user measurements for various compute workloads (simple JS, complex JS, complex Rust). The post also highlights the removal of a 'no benchmarking' clause from the Terms of Service to encourage independent validation.
