I'd argue that using CloudFront for SSL termination would be slightly better, but ultimately even just running an EC2 instance implies trusting Amazon and giving them power to intercept and mess with your traffic. So I guess with CloudFlare the only difference is you are trusting one more entity that could screw you over. So you end up trusting both Amazon and CloudFlare. > What are you paying for S3, currently? I pay roughly $0.03/month so switching to something like a DO droplet($5/month) would increase cost by 16566%, increase labour required and make the site less stable and more vulnerable to hug of death scenarios.
