Security bounty hunters are going to make some $$$

Cloudinary is an end-to-end solution for managing images and videos, for developers. The CDN and optimization parts are tightly coupled with the digital asset management: e.g. if you change an image, the system knows to invalidate the relevance cached images, and is CDN-agnostic. So no, CDNs are not competition, but rather good partners to Cloudinary.

Regarding the DAM: CMS and Ecom systems are indeed getting better, but media assets you upload to them become siloed in the CMS. Cloudinary acts as a headless DAM that you can embed in any CMS and use as a single source of truth, relieving a lot of the pains of handling media files and their versions.

Cedexis gets another lease on life

Most shocking to me was that the whole process plus the super creepy text ‘Do not attempt to open another developer account’ hasn’t changed in 5 years

I would add a image/video hosting & management category - there are some well established players in the market that have nice free tiers (full disclosure: I work at one). Makes life simpler than working with Storage & CDNs.

TLS is still slow, for users on 3G phones, remote areas, and 3rd world countries. But who cares about them? They're poor! They can cope with a slow web.
