I really dont like this centralization of the internet into a few gigantic companies having every site under their wings. And then something goes wrong and millions of web sites are affected.
It also gives these companies the power to shut down any of their user sites.
On the other hand, handling a ddos attack is hardly possible without them these days.
And then someone posts your tiny hobby site to a popular forum and you get hugged to death. There are plenty of people who say they don’t like centralization (which is fair), and a lot who mention not using Cloudflare (which is fair), but there exists plenty of great reasons to use the tech whether you like it or not.
Instead we should be focused on what the alternatives are depending on your needs, recommending solutions to actual problems, rather than just yelling at the sky.
Those are just a few I’ve used in the past in enterprise settings, but there are a lot out there.
Yeah thats great. Thank you!
