We are currently developing a project and were very open regarding the provider and none came close to Cloudflare pages.

The free geo information in the header alone is already worth it for us so we save money on purchasing a separate ip db but also don't waste time for the separate db call looking up the location.

I was very disappointed by their kv store latency and that d1 does not replicate yet. So we ended up comparing a poor man solution in just providing the json at a http endpoint on our webserver vs. quite a few global kv providers.

We set up a promise race and did thourough global tests. Doing the http request beat the global kv store providers by far, even if they have a pop in syd, the cloudflare http request to europe or the us was still faster. We are using Argo though, this might have helped as well.
