storage.googleapis.com might not be an optimal CDN about snowpack HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey @jeffposnick, thanks for the message! I'm in a similar boat: just haven't had the time yet to move to a proper, edge-cached CDN and wanted to get this released sooner rather than later. It's a multi-regional US bucket so I assume US performance is good, but I'm excited to get it on a real CDN so that international folks get a better experience.

I'm also reaching out to partners like Google, Cloudflare, etc. to help sponsor the CDN & support the server costs. Is there anyone at Google who you could connect me to who would be interested in speaking about that? Happy to follow up with you via twitter as well.

@FredKSchott I think you could use Cloudflare free plan with unlimited bandwidth and still use GCS as origin.
I think that's what https://unpkg.com/ does.

@tadeuszwojcik Cloudflare is a great, but

1. unpkg is using Cloudflare Business Plan, not Free Plan.
2. Cloudflare is not friendly to some regions, for instance China.

Thanks everyone for the discussion! I'm in contact with both Cloudflare & Google about getting a sponsored account. Closing this since it isn't @pika/web related, but feel free to move the convo over to https://spectrum.chat/pika.
