Why do people use the reverse proxy functionality of Cloudflare? I've worked at small to medium sized businesses that never had any of this while running public facing websites and they were/are just fine. Same goes for my personal projects: I've never been worried about being targeted by a botnet so much that I introduce a single point of failure like this.

It gives really good caching functionality so you can have large amounts of traffic and your site can easily handle it. Plus they don't charge for egress traffic.

people think that running nodejs servers are a good idea, and those fall over if there's ever so much as a stiff breeze, so they put cloudflare in front and call it a day.

It's chic. Young bois or adult pepl with boi like mentality.

What, they have Cloudflare and we don't? We also must have cloudflare. Don't ask why.

Now that you have it, you are at least level 15 and not a peasant.

Same applies to every braindead framework on the web. The gadget mind of the bois is the cause for all this.

Funny that I could not load Twitter to see if Cloudflare was down. I rushed to Hacker News, but it was too early. Clicking on “new” did the job to find this post before making it to the Homepage:) The web is still alive!

It was on Mastodon. That one is hardly going down.
