| >Again, _as opposed to what_? Are you saying polyhaven should go multi-cloud and spend triple what they need? You aren't actually presenting any real solutions, you are just complaining about the cloudflare ceo. I haven't complained or suggested a damn thing in my previous comment. All I've provided is an extended summary of Superkuh's comments and supported those claims with evidence of past events. Exercising due diligence shouldn't be regarded as a controversial position. >I'm a guy who wants to host a service. You are telling me Cloudflare bad. I'm telling you that depending on a single service, whether that service is Cloudflare, Youtube, AWS, etc., is a bad idea. If you don't have a credible alternative provider you can migrate to at a moment's notice, you're website and content is at risk. >What is the alternative, and how do I ensure the CEO of that service doesn't null route me? Alternatives: https://www.esecurityplanet.com/products/distributed-denial-... https://www.techradar.com/news/best-ddos-protection Not mentioned is DDos-Guard, which has a pretty good offering if you don't mind that it's in Russia (perhaps that even might be a bonus) You can't ensure the CEO of a company doesn't null route you. That's why it's important to have alternatives and plan migration ahead of time. |
So the alternatives aren't better than Cloudflare, Superkuh just had an axe to grind specifically with Cloudflare. And there is no an alternative solution that wrests control from a CEO having a bad day.
At the end of the day, he's still at the whims of the Cloudflare/Bunny/Akamai and if he wants to be fully in control he must spend millions building his own CDN.
It's not as if Cloudflare has major switching costs either.
