In my mind the answer is in building decentralized apps/services.
A DDoS on a static site cached on just about any CDN that runs logic exclusively on the client is much harder to pull off successfully because it's so much cheaper (practically free?) to mitigate, and doesn't affect any existing users who would already have the necessary resources cached locally.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoI thought that until my sites behind AWS' CloudFront were repeatedly DDoSed and I saw my bill. AWS did let me report these DDoSes and they would reimburse me, but it felt wayyy too precarious and I ended up switching to Cloudflare (free). And I think that should worry us all. Also, only the most trivial sites can be 100% cached. And those are the sites who need Recaptcha the least (or need a server to get a challenge from). Abuse is not a simple issue to solve.
