How were you handling DDoS attacks at Vultr/EquinixMetal? As far as I understand it they offer zero protection at all

Great point and clearly coming from experience! This is partly why we moved on from Vultr and Equinix Metal. We'll blog about our new setup soon.
Yeah, we’re currently thinking about using a third provider with BGP and DDoS protection for the announced blocks and only tunneling it through there when we are being DDoSed but said provider only offers servers in three locations (Luxembourg, New York and Las Vegas) and has no API for automated server ordering etc., so we’ll have to see. Looking forward to reading the follow-up blog post!
