Google Cloud CDN
Google Cloud's CDN, which runs behind its external Application Load Balancer and is billed per GB and per cache lookup.
Mostly relevant to workloads already on Google Cloud, as Cloud Load Balancing charges and cache fill (about $0.01/GiB in-region) come on top of the CDN's own fees. Cache egress in North America and Europe starts at $0.08/GiB and drops to $0.02 above 1,000 TiB. Every cache lookup costs $0.0075 per 10k, so request-heavy sites pay more than on Bunny or KeyCDN, which charge nothing per request. There is no free tier listed and no EU data residency option.
