I've been a long-time Cloudflare user, but sometimes I just want a global load balancer without the lock-in and with full configuration control (e.g., some Cloudflare rules require an enterprise plan).

I love Caddy for its easy configuration, and that's why I created Novnaode. It makes it easy to launch hosted Caddy instances (with Nginx coming soon) and puts you fully in control of how to manage the configurations.

No more being restricted by enterprise tiers or limited configuration options - just simple, powerful, and flexible global load balancing.

This is excellent, but I'm not following how the multi-region deployments work. Is Anycast involved in this somehow?

Maybe a comparison to AWS Global Accelerator would be helpful to understand the "global" aspect. Having instances in multiple regions is just a starting point.

Ahhh got it, this is focusing primarily on load balancing at a lower layer of routing then than what I'm referring to. While not wrong, "global load balancing" threw me off a bit.

EDIT: see the other reply, appears that it handles both given it leverages Fly's Anycast setup.
