I love Cloudflare. A lot. But I don't love that they refuse to address the fact their cloud has a single fault zone.

Customers can not, no matter how hard they try, build highly available services using Cloudflare.

They are quite proud of it too if you read the smugness in their blogs about having just 1 region: Earth... Yet they keep having global outages.

I can no longer recommend them.

What do you use instead? and have you completely migrated off CF?

Or choose one dedicated server and just pay ten times less for everything.

Yes that is possible too! We utilse VPS's for some projects and even dedicated servers for a side project I help with.

I love Cloudflare, I just wish they did container stuff for when I need it.
MyNameIsTito · 4 days ago
They do containers now! Unless it's a specific thing within containers you need to accomplish the stuff you want it to do.

Imagine the CEO of CloudFlare coming to the thread to tell you he doesn't like the free marketing.

As dumb as it sounds, I've witnessed a similar thing not long ago, lol.

(Different company, not CloudFlare. I really like CF.)

The CF CTO - Dane Knetch gave it a RT on X (posted there too)
