Cloudflare operates as a content delivery network and distributed DNS (domain name server). Its services protect website owners from peak loads, comment spam attacks and DDos (distributed denial of service) attacks.
@arvidkahl@Cloudflare That's my experience too. Cloudflare has amazing DX but it's a platform service which ships a crap ton of stuff. Reliability does not seem to be on top of the prio list.
@arvidkahl@Cloudflare Handling millions of daily requests with no issues typically! However, I did experience the same challenge, although sub 0.01% requests, on a content streaming service. Do you keep a lot of long-running connections or streams?
@arvidkahl@Cloudflare The API is protected by CF?
Free account? LB at CF in use?
You could whitelist your services additionally to auth, e.g. with a special header.
@Cloudflare@eastdakota thoughts? @rauchg also curious on your thoughts since @vercel was being dragged for the same kinda thing but atleast you fixed the issue.
@ImLunaHey@Cloudflare best part was their banner on top of the billing page these last few weeks
something along the lines of "we're migrating stuff and what we show you is probably not accurate, yolo"
come on @Cloudflare bill shock is a massive issue, i shouldnt need to check 20 different places to find out how much ill be paying at the end of the month.
why doesnt your billing page show most of your products? i'd love to keep using d1 but now im worried ill have to…
@fucha_co@Cloudflare@ShopifySupport From a basic google search I think Shopify already uses Cloudflare, so I think unless you have an Enterprise plan the dual layer Cloudflare might cause some issues
This guy has shared some gold.
All this is available in @Cloudflare 's free tier. Avoid crazy bills when starting out. All you need is a VPS and some minor configs and your bill could be less than $50 a month. I can help you get started. DM for more info.
