My startup has also suffered from the recent Netlify outages with our main landing page.

Last time I already did the research for potential alternatives:

- Cloudflare Pages is now available in public beta

- even more interesting seemed this offering by PerfOps to put my CDN behind a Load Balancer that can monitor uptime and dynamically shift traffic between multiple CDN sources: https://perfops.net/flexbalancer

What do you think?

- it seems like the multi cloud approach to CDN

- but at the same time I'll have a problem if this Load Balancer fails (single point of failure)

> CDN behind a Load Balancer

This sounds crazy to me. Besides the obvious superfluous network/layer hops, complexity and points of failure it would also partition the cache, right? So working against the very thing CDN's optimize for.

There's also Vercel and Firebase ( Hosting ) which are stable ( not in beta as Cloudflare Pages).
