Move yourself into the cloud and let someone else deal with it. Seriously.
I'm a big fan of outsourcing anything you arent 'great' at. In this case, its running firewalls. Unless of course your app is something related to server maintenance or firewalls or security, etc.
Most software companies really shouldnt try to deal with this stuff -- I had to learn the hard way. You should only spend your time on your applications, not anything else that doesnt directly benefit you. You can get lost in the maintenance.
- Tichy 18y agoJust curious, but how would "the cloud" help with such a problem? Sure, supposedly you could summon infinite computing power to handle the DDOS requests. But the computing power would not come for free, so the DDOS would still do serious financial damage.
- Brushfire 18y agoYou are paying either way. Thats just the way it works. However, under one option, you pay and Amazon deals with the actual load, downtime, server stress, hardware improvements, etc. Under the other, you get to deal with all of that AND get to be pissed off AND accomplish nothing for your business at the same time.
- irrelative 18y agoThere are several companies that create DDoS mitigation hardware/software. I have good knowledge that Amazon (et al) use several of these companies for solutions.
