Would be good for them to implement some kind of P2P fallback. As in: if cloudflare is down, npm can go and query some kind of IPFS version. After all, many of these packages are most likely already hosted by thousands if not millions of other clients. They would just need to run their own IPFS client, so every NPM module is at least pinned by NPM. And then users who do an npm install could have the option to be a part of the P2P pool, which would essentially just spin a light IPFS client on their side to pin the modules downloaded. The hash table associating each npm module => IPFS link could then be duplicated on other hosts (AWS, Google) and consulted as fallback if Cloudflare is down. Or even, this strategy could be used to reduce bandwidth costs even in day-to-day operations. |
