Everyone says vibe coding but people are just fine at being incompetent without the AI help

Sure, but with AI we can automate that incompetence.

What a joke of a company. They have the internet in the palm of their hands, and yet let vibe coding ambitions ruin their empire.

Time for everyone to drop this company and move on to better solutions (until those better solutions rot from the inside out, just like their predecessor did)

One has to wonder how many times or how often proprietary cloud services have to go down before there is a general shift away from using the cloud and "infinite scaling" for everything. For many, many use cases you do not need neither Cloudflare nor Github nor nine nines for everything (which you are clearly not getting anyway). It's obviously not enough with once a year for most businesses, or perhaps once a month. Weekly outages? For how long?

If you host something that actually matters that other people depend upon and, please review your actual needs and if possible stop making yourself _completely_ dependent on giant cloud corporations.
