Logflare/Cloudflare Logs vs self-hosted log shipping
Getting logs off the edge: hosted pipe or roll your own? The honest comparison.
→ Logflare / Cloudflare Logpush — for CDN-fronted sites, your origin never sees the real bot hits; Logpush streams edge logs straight to BigQuery or R2. The Cloudflare docs make this the only clean option behind a proxy.
→ Self-hosted (Fluentd/Vector) — full control, no vendor, but you own the buffering, retries, and the 2am pager when the shipper dies.
⭐ Pick of the week: the gotcha from Cloudflare's own guide — origin logs behind a CDN show the proxy IP, not Googlebot's. If you're proxied, edge logs aren't optional.
Takeaway: edge logs (Logpush) when a CDN sits in front; self-hosted shipping when you control the origin and want no third party.
