Literally just sent an email to my devops guys to move off cloudflare asap. This cavalier lack of respect is a diservice and insult to all the people who rely on my product for their livelihood.

You’re changing your arch because you saw a one-sided completely unverified post on HN?

At this point @jgrahamc has the worst of it - people show up here time after time hoping they can make enough of a stink to get him involved.

we use cloudflare for their dns so not a complete change of arch. (this kind of lockin is precisely why I've stayed away from faas)

more importantly, its important to send a message. We depend on these services for our livelihood. if I'm paying for a service, the least I'm owed is the ability to get in touch with a person to rectify the situation as soon as possible. Companies who want other companies relaying on their service need to provide that if they want to be taken seriously.

EDIT: also, not to knock jgrahamc. appreciate that you're looking into this but one person on an email is not a scalable customer service solution for B2B. at the very minimum, there should be some sort of platform for filing the tickets, getting a timeframe on resolution as well as options to pay for faster turnaround.

If you’re using Cloudflare for DNS/registrar they have pass-through pricing. It’s a loss for them - you’re not paying for anything.

Thats even more reason to switch to Route 53. I didn't choose cloudflare at the beginning but its clear its a bit of a liability here.

To put it in perspective, we had to send out apology emails to very irate customers when our system went down for 10 minutes in December.

edit: Route 53 not S3*
