This is an interesting point. Did you originally use a non network-level-ddos-defying CSP and then switch? I am curious when this became a variable to consider

This is an interesting point. Did you originally use a non network-level-ddos-defying CSP and then switch? I am curious when this became a variable to consider as an item to explicitly pay more for (e.g. going from AWS Shield standard to advanced or picking big-3 CSP with higher price because of DDOS-protection) / when the inflection point in the business where DDOS-protection is now a serious consideration due to financial impact/user impact occurred (if possible to point to).
- InGodsName 8y agoYes, we used baremetal and digital ocean before that. Why? Mostly because of cost and it seemed simple than building out stuff on cloud services. Every Friday night, our services got ddosed by our competitors. Provider would nullroute our IPs and our service goes down We struggled with it a lot since we were not big enough to afford a premium ddos solution. Once we realized that big cloud like aws, gcp do not suffer from this, we had to make a switch.
