I remember being so excited about Cloudflare's releases that I'd check their blog every couple of weeks for what new thing they were cooking up. This was before I actually had to use them to serve production clients.

When it came time to launch (2023?), the initial setup was using DNS/Cache, Workers, Workers KV, R2, D1, Durable Objects, Access, and Queues.

My first hint was that the Typescript library to access their API was simply just wrong. API requests through the library would fail, complaining about missing fields or invalid types, even though the types said my construction was correct, and I received dismissive replies when raising it in their Discord.

Then there were the D1 issues with random requests failing.

Then there were the Durable Objects issues with syncing clients in our collaborative editor.

Then there were the KV and (by extension) Access outages.

Eventually it made sense to switch it all over to AWS. Today, I trust Cloudflare for DNS, Cache, DDoS protection, and not much else.

The "AI psychosis" that may or may not have infected Cloudflare and caused this reminds me of Github's, except Cloudflare has a much much bigger moat.
