i run fastapi APIs on linode with cloudflare in front and honestly the simplicity is underrated. predictable billing, docs that match reality, no surprise platform regressions. for a straightforward API workload the hyperscaler tax doesn't make sense unless you genuinely need their scale
Hate to break it to ya, you picked an emerging hyperscaler:

i guess the difference is i chose my hyperscalers à la carte instead of getting the all-in-one bundle. at least when cloudflare breaks something i can still ssh into my linode and debug it directly
Linode is also owned by Akamai...
