Maybe instead of asking "questions" to a corporation which their only interest is profit, is now beholden Wall Street and wouldn't care what we think, we should look for answers and alternatives like BunnyCDN [0], Anubis [1], etc.

- arbll 11mo agoAh yes because both of those alternatives are non-profits right ?
- colesantiago 11mo agoYou can sponsor Anubis right now and start supporting alternatives.
- arbll 11mo agoI think you are misunderstanding what cloudflare provides if you think Anubis is an alternative. Even if we only consider bot protection they are completely different solutions.
- colesantiago 11mo ago> I think you are misunderstanding what cloudflare provides if you think Anubis is an alternative... Do you have an open source alternative especially if you are donating to the project? Because I would to see Anubis and other alternatives thrive much more than closed ones like Cloudflare.
- arbll 11mo agoCDN are by essence proprietary because they are infrastructure vendors. They can be built with open source software but what they are selling isn't software, it's physical servers. The alternative is going on-prem which is impossible for CDN if you aren't google or meta.
- vlovich123 11mo agoBunny has raised money from VC which indicates it’s going the “Wall Street” path. Anubis is a bot firewall not a CDN.
- koakuma-chan 11mo agoI wouldn't trust a provider that has "Excellent (underlined) star star star star star STAR TrustPilot 4.8 on G2" on their landing page. I bet they are also award winning, and 150 best place to work at. Really shows they have no taste.
- colesantiago 11mo ago? I don't remember telling anyone to trust the reviews? I think it is healthy to try alternatives to Cloudflare and then come to your own decision.
- koakuma-chan 11mo agoI'm not saying you did, but for me things like what I mentioned are red flags. They also use C#—another red flag. There's OVH, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, etc—all are private companies that aren't on Wall Street.
- colesantiago 11mo agoNo. DigitalOcean is owned by Wall Street. Only Hetzner is a good alternative CDN.
- koakuma-chan 11mo agoYou're right, DO is public.
