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.
I'm currently hosting a @GatsbyJS site on a @Netlify paid plan. But I'm migrating to @nextjs. Is there any point in migrating the hosting provider to @vercel (or @Cloudflare pages?) as well? or is there no point
@Cloudflare you all increased prices in 2022. Inflation was rampant, and a main factor was energy costs. Global cost has gone down, please lower professional hosting plan costs
@Cloudflare, is it somehow possible to set overall billing alerts? For example, when our bill would exceed X dollars?
We just ran a $700 bill in 7 days due to a badly configured D1 index, and that is totally our fault. But it seems I can only set billing alerts for DO or Worker…
@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.
