I do think this is tenable as long as these services are reliable. Even though there have been some outages I would argue that they’re incredibly reliable at this point. If though this ever changes the costs to move to a competitor won’t be as simple as pushing a repository elsewhere, especially for AWS. I think that’s where some of the potential danger lies.

do you hear yourself, this is supposed to be a distributed CDN. imagine if HTTP had 30 minutes of downtime a year.

and judging by the HN post age, we're now past minute 60 of this incident.

Huh? It's been back up during most of this time. It was up and then briefly went back down again but it's been up for a while now. Total downtime was closer to 30 minutes

CF can be just as difficult if not more to migrate off of especially when using things like durable objects
