In this case we actually benefit from CloudFlare on the launch. The hug is quite hard from HN. We love you HN.

  Really, how? I would have thought that running the image processing on that backend would be much more expensive than serving the relatively static website?

    That is true!

      Then how do you benefit from CloudFlare? Legit curious.

        Oh the DDoS protection and traffic routing, their service is pretty easy to set up.

          Who is DDoSing you? This website is not a high-profile target, I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in attacking this. Or do your logs say otherwise? By 'traffic routing' do you mean CDN, or reverse-proxy or what? A single server with properly-configured client-side HTTP caching should do the trick for serving a static site.
