Hopefully the fallout is that Cloudflare gets its act together. Even if your friends know 100% that they can't possibly have been negatively affected by tons of private information being dumped all over the internet, I'm not sure how such anecdotal evidence is any more instructive than a HN "bubble". Even if nobody at all ended up negatively affected in any serious way, I don't see why people shouldn't remark on the…

Sure, that's a valid question to ask. But imagine you have 1,000,000 customers. Now you have to calculate and manage scaling groups for 1,000,000 customers * number of services. The resourcing costs alone would be outlandish, not to mention trying to independently scale each customer. Perhaps container systems would make this easier, but do they have better memory isolation? Is it possible for a container process to…
A container is a process with some extra isolation (namespaces), they certainly can't overrun into each other without an exploit. Why would the costs be outlandish? We offer that and we're fairly cheap. Since the cost is mostly fixed per customer, it should scale linearly. As for scaling, they already have to do that, by pointing different requests at different servers depending on their load, etc.
If there are 1M customers that's a minimum of 1M servers. Some customers are obviously larger and would need more. There's also HA. Let's conservatively call it 2.5M servers.
At an absolute bare minimum we'd need to allocate 2.5M GB of ram and 2.5M vCPU. That's a huge amount of resources.
If you could reliably fit 10000 Small customers on a single server at 32gb ram and 8 cpus you can already start to see how many resources can be saved.
Without customer isolation you've got the entire cluster to handle load spikes and HA. With isolation you have to have scheduling monitoring each of the 1M clusters and scaling appropriately by anticipating demand.
Scaling a service is way easier than scaling customers within a service or many services.
Yes.
Except this fear is part of our income source like the TSA, except they are more like 100% IT is a bit less.
Yet since $AAPL released the new MacBook Pro (Oct 27th '16), their stock is up 24%, with a breakout record Q1. Let's not forget that the entire market has been in an epic bull run since Trump took office, so perhaps that is a factor.

Don't believe what you see on HN all the time. People here are incredibly intelligent for the most part, but there is frankly lots of disconnect from reality. In my opinion lots of conspiracy theorists, purest, and some social justice warriors pushing agendas.
My opinion... But I think we can bundle GitLab, CloudFlare, and Uber into categories of will be just fine.

I think the implication is that the isolation should be per customer , each being allocated their own parsing process, isolated from the other customers. That's roughly what we do, though we run an hosted version of an open source webapp, not a CDN. It's more expensive resource-wise (particularly RAM), but it has meant that we were immune to 90%+ of the security bugs discovered in the platform.

This won't necessarily be a popular opinion, but I remember when everyday there were negative blog posts and stories about Apple and the new MacBook Pros. It seemed like every developer got on their Medium and wrote a blistering post. It you just read the internet and HN you'd think the world at Apple was crumbling down.

The MacBook Pro doesn't move APPL stock, it is a tiny portion of their sales, the entire Mac business is around 10% of revenue.
I have now transferred every single one of my domains away from namecheap
I also installed the following extension, and now watch what I put into cloudflare pages: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/claire/fgbpcgddpmj...
