Yes, I want to also be clear my point was philosophical not technical and i'm not trying to start a flamewar. I don't know there is a "right answer" here - I just have one perspective, I don't see the others as being less valid in exploration. I've thought about your point a lot over the years (I helped build a large cloud provider from scratch) - you might be right I don't know but in my experience outages on less centralized systems tend to go on for longer and are harder to deal with if the surface area is too diffuse, there is probably a happy medium, but I still don't have a problem with cloudflare, they seem generally fine, we've known them a long ass time now. i am quite concerned however about when Matthew and Michelle move on, as I expect they will one day, who takes over... you have to have a lot of gaul to run cloudflare correctly.
