Do we know of any alternative services providing at least the basics of what Cloudflare does?
Such as:
- Unmetered DDoS protection (i.e. no absurd base fee for it existing)
- Unmetered rate limiting (protection against cost attacks on the next)
- Reasonably priced object storage (i.e. not more expensive than numbers listed here https://blog.cloudflare.com/aws-egregious-egress)
- dmw_ng 2y agoCloudFlare does not provide unmetered anything, at best they provide services on a discretionary basis while trying as hard as possible to make it appear this is not the case. It's better to think of their product line as a CRM system with some CDN features on the side
- intelVISA 2y agoEasy to build in a few weekends, grab a few geodistributed racks with Mellanox NICs and do HW offload. Obj storage is a similar NVME DMA approach.
- bluelightning2k 2y agoTo be fair to CloudFlare - let's replace "unmetered" with "fair use". Very typically free = actually "fair use". Where it gets murky is when this becomes a shotgun sales tactic.
