After 15 years building on Azure, I finally decided to move most of my workloads to Cloudflare — and in this video, I’ll tell you exactly why.

This is not a hype video. It’s a real-world founder breakdown of what worked, what didn’t, and how Cloudflare changed the game for me in terms of cost, performance, scalability, and simplicity.

💡 You’ll learn:

How Azure pricing creeps up without you realizing it

Why Cloudflare’s edge network + serverless stack is a real alternative

The performance difference between Azure Functions and Cloudflare Workers

Why simplicity beats complexity for scaling SaaS apps

When you should still keep Azure — and when to migrate

If you’re a developer, SaaS founder, or architect, this is for you.
I’m not sponsored — just sharing 15 years of hard-won experience to help you make better cloud decisions.

About Me
Hi, I'm Dwain Browne from Toronto, Canada - a software developer turned serial entrepreneur who's passionate about solving real business problems through technology. As a self-proclaimed computer geek, I've spent years identifying pain points in business operations and building scalable AI-powered solutions to eliminate them.

My Entrepreneurial Journey
My journey started with recognizing gaps in everyday business processes. This led me to build two companies that address critical needs:

SnapSuite - An all-in-one software platform designed specifically for contractors, focusing on business management, productivity optimization, and construction-specific tools that streamline operations from project planning to completion.

LeadScore AI - Born from 20+ years of sales frustrations and overcomplicated CRM systems, this AI-powered platform revolutionizes how businesses find, score, and follow up with leads - eliminating guesswork and busywork while integrating seamlessly with existing tools.

Today, I specialize in AI automation and building scalable productivity tools that help businesses work smarter, not harder. My focus is on creating systems that actually solve problems rather than add complexity.
