Congratulations to Micah's team. To everyone else: does CloudFlare have a good reputation for maintaining open source acquisitions?

• necubi 2y ago
  (Arroyo founder here) Cloudflare has a strong tradition of open source, even for core parts of their product, like workerd (https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd), and also maintains a bunch of key infrastructural libraries like quiche. They aim to compete with their global infrastructure and network and not with restrictive licenses.

    Can you explain why you have such a bad perception in the Open Source community if this is true? To me it seems calculated to raise your valuation.

  God no, baselimehq, they didn’t even communicate to users that were degrading the product gradually, filtering and aggregating features broke until it was unusable. If existing customer then jump ship before they kill it slowly

    Baselime, that one really made me sad. I had talked to people on the team there before they got acquired and they were all very nice and responsive. It was the best Lambda monitoring platform I had found (for my needs). What did you move to instead?
