Cloudflare OS, is it worth?
Summary
This article provides a CTO-focused technical breakdown of Cloudflare OS, an open-source, private, sandboxed AI operating system built on Cloudflare Workers. It analyzes architecture, self-hosting viability, enterprise gaps (i18n, LDAP, budgeting), and security model (zero-trust, gatekeepers), and offers a decision framework comparing adoption, forking, or building a custom stack. It concludes that self-hosting is challenging today outside Cloudflare's cloud, and suggests an alternative vendor-agnostic self-hosted TS stack as a practical option.
