Idea

Large git repositories are slow and expensive to clone, especially for organizations with high bandwidth costs. GitDelivr caches repos on edge servers (Cloudflare Workers/R2) to dramatically speed up clones globally. Solves real pain for open-source projects and enterprises.

Why this is interesting

Git-based CI/CD pipelines have exploded in scale, and large monorepo clones eating 30-60 seconds of build time is a genuine cost center for teams paying per-minute on GitHub Actions or similar. No clear incumbent owns this specific layer — jsDelivr does CDN for npm packages, and Cloudflare's R2 egress pricing makes the edge caching math actually work at small scale, which supports the $2k–10k/mo band if you can land even a handful of mid-sized engineering orgs on a bandwidth-tiered plan. The biggest risk is that GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket close this gap themselves — shallow clones, partial clones, and bundle caching are already shipping, and if the platforms improve native clone performance, the wedge disappears before you've built enough switching cost.
