So, I understand correctly that all websites and services want protection from DDoS attacks, and that's basically their number one concern. The second is caching in different parts of the world. So, it's caching and DDoS. But at the same time, nobody wants to use CloudFront from AWS because it’s not that simple yet. And it’s more expensive, while Cloudflare is free. So, what should we do about all this? This won’t do. We’ve created a gigantic bottleneck that controls the entire internet, just like in the movie Mad Max, where he controlled the only source of water. That’s wrong. And we all fell for it like fools. So, the question is, what can be done in this situation? Are there reliable competitors? Are there any fault-tolerant systems for this? The whole problem is that our DNS, and with Cloudflare, they proxy it. So, if their proxy goes down, everything falls apart. What should we do about this?

Someone should make an open source system that lets you easily host containers so that if one fails, we can easily switchover across providers. Like Vercel AI SDK but for containers. That is, if docker isnt failing (it is right now cause it depends on Cloudflare)

Nobody is being forced to use Cloudflare

Who is we? You are free to stop using their service

Let your hoster take care of the DDoS and stop using the flaky behemoth.

You haven't actually watched Mad Max, have you? I do recommend it.
