I’d argue that the big 3 cloud providers have more outages than this, only cloudflare actually lets you know.

I've been operating a relatively small digital platform for 15 years. We don't use Cloudflare, for bots, we use tirreno (1), which we specifically created to filter malicious traffic.

For hosting, we use a local and sovereign EU provider.

If tomorrow Cloudflare, Amazon, and Microsoft were to somehow disappear or go permanently down, I wouldn't even notice.
