Have you ever seen a us-east-1 outage? Or when Exchange Online fails... weekly or so? There's a lot of huge clouds that are load-bearing for the Internet. Cloudflare is the one you can at least circumvent easily.
- gonzalohm 5mo agoThat's not true. Read about all the drama happening in Spain when an entity (the soccer league) decides to block all the Cloudfare IPs. You are stuck with no access to most websites behind Cloudfare, and that's a lot of them
- ocdtrekkie 5mo agoHow does this differ if Spain decided to block AWS IPs?
- gonzalohm 5mo agoIt doesn't, it's the same problem. But at least AWS provides more services. Cloudfare is just an extra layer to route traffic
- yencabulator 5mo agoCloudflare does a lot more these days. You can run a JS app in Workers and any Linux app in a container. You can have them host your database and object storage.
- ipaddr 5mo agoGreat and I heard they offer haircuts at a discount. But they still block 25% of internet traffic
