This was inevitable. We're seeing the "Vercel-ification" of the edge. For a long time, Cloudflare had the superior infrastructure (Workers, R2, KV), but lacked the cohesive "onramp" that Next.js provides for Vercel. By acquiring Astro, Cloudflare finally owns the full stack, from the local dev experience to the global edge delivery.

The real question is whether Cloudflare can maintain Astro's "framework agnostic" soul while being incentivized to push everyone toward Workers/Pages.
