:-) Cloudflare is amazing, yes. Everyone should use it by default, I say.

As an individual or small business I agree with you. Their free tier is amazing? And they seem to be awesome people with only the best intentions.

I hope for more diversity, for many reasons. One of which is that they are a know man-in-the-middle, that can see the plan text of what appears to be secure communication to the user. It operates in the US, it can be compelled to, and to do it silently, into using their position to spy on people.

That said we use them at work and I use them personally. I'm not doing anything "risky" at all. But there are many cases in history where suddenly the government changes and now you are. And apparently black people are always doing something "risky" in the US.

Man, I really want to say we don't because of the implications of too centralised an internet, but there's no way it isn't a transitive dependency.

What the hell are you building that there has to be Cloudflare in the dependency tree at some point?

[sgtfrankieboy]

Well for our use case their caching infrastructure handles 63% of all our traffic and 70% of our bandwidth.

We'd have to basically quadruple our expenses without CF. Not to mention their available protections.

Any javascript CDN?

I'm sure there are more Node.js modules for that than you can count.

Until they go down too..

I vote for more diversity rather.

Stop embracing a single company. Everyone goes bad when they figured they're the monopoly.
