Our company was knocked offline by a DDOS attack. It continued all day unabated until we signed up for a free cloudflare account. That was easy. Flash forward about 8 years and I find myself using cloudflare to stave off the immense suffering of Azure/AWS by using R2 and Pages. As soon as more people find out how easy Cloudflare is and how much it can lube a product deployment, I expect a lot more of the internet to end up there by choice. Cloudflare deployed my app better/easier than Microsoft was able to deploy it to Azure (Microsoft owns GitHub and Azure and still didn't have their shit ironed out...Cloudflare just works). I had to tweak them both but Azure took hours and cloudflare was a quick, cleanly documented change. I wish they offered a service to host my nodejs APIs.
