Hmm... Who just changed their dns vs. riding it out?
4 comments

I was in the midst of migrating my namecheap domain from Route53 to Cloudflare. Set up all the DNS records while ignoring the /api/ errors shown at the bottom of the Cloudflare dashboard thinking some ad block setting in my browser was messed up.

Then I realised setting the NS in Namecheap to Cloudflare's nameservers was taking an inordinate amount of time to propagate, and that's when I checked X/Twitter. Set it back to Route53.

We did, we were slowly working towards migrating to AWS entirely and this just helped expedite it.
It hasn't affected my home network at all. I use their DNS servers and nothing has resolving addresses has not stopped working
Parent comment was likely referring to authoritative DNS, not Cloudflare's public resolvers.
I'm planning my transition away for 10 or so subdomains and 30 records.

The only feature I need to research in new providers is: access to Whois ASN numbers, which I insert into HTTP request headers. I use this to tailor my site for .gov and .edu users.
