Yes, but I'd wager that most sites experience cloudflare outages more often than they experience bona fide attacks.

- Cthulhu_ 4y agoYou say that, but there's tons of automated attempts doing the rounds on everything directly connected to the internet; centralized providers like Cloudflare can detect and prevent these patterns, whereas you need to be on the ball yourself if you have a service directly open to the internet. Exploits are exploited quickly, and while I make no assumptions about your particular website / application, a lot cannot push an update on short notice.
- scrollaway 4y agoYou would lose your wager. DDoS attacks are extremely common at just about any scale, even if you only have a few thousand users. Cloudflare going down like this? Actually first time I remember it happening. There’s been downtime before but nothing so major.
