Cloudflare Data Platform

I don't know about other people, but I would not want to use a platform by a firm that subjects some of its users to extortion. Even if there wasn't extortion, I'd still prefer open source.
logicallee•4mo ago
Could you elaborate? What are you referring to?
victorbjorklund•4mo ago
Probably things like this: https://robindev.substack.com/p/cloudflare-took-down-our-web...
SilverElfin•4mo ago
Insane story. And a huge red flag if true. Shutting down a customer’s live websites because they’re considering a competitor is unacceptable.
ayhanfuat•4mo ago
I would say it was more nuanced than that. Here's the discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40481808
Imustaskforhelp•4mo ago
Honestly yeah I also used to think about it but this was so one off of an instant and another reason why something like this happened was that there was some massive miscommunication aspects from both cloudflare and the website iirc.

Yes the fault is on cf but I am pretty sure that out of all the cases of things happening on all platforms, cf has one of the lowest rates.

One also has to think through that cf has a anycast platform and the website in question was a gambling platform which no matter what they say, is still a tangible risk and can cause their ip's banned.

Honestly I appreciate the concern but it isn't something to be worried about tbh, Firstly this thing happened when like the company was making millions running all on cf, and mistakes happen and honestly this is the only mistake that I hear of cf except of 1000's of things in aws, gcloud etc.

Miscommunication was the wrong thing here but nobody is prepared for it and I believe that cf has learnt from the instance & could be forgiven.

Also they are the cheapest in the business if you use their cf workers and s3 etc., now this data platform.

I guess one can have the domain be hosted somewhere else except cf too if they are this worried and things would still work iirc

Another idea could be redirection of domains if they want the domain to be hosted by cf but also want some safety net.

Always make some backups and be happy to migrate, Backups should be made in all platforms and these things happen everywhere don't they.

Not even sure why I am shilling cf this hard but I just hate when people bring this one instance to move people away from cf..

Like tell me the alternatives dude? tell me something so simple and cheap that I can't worry about high bills like in aws or anything while having massive scale and latency using cf workers

Servers are good but depending on the context y'know. If you are writing some javascript, cf workers can be insanely good for it atleast in my use cases. Cf workers also has containers which is a very interesting thing that I am looking forward to learning more about tbh.

OutOfHere•4mo ago
I don't know why people are so afraid of deploying open source software on their own. It literally can do most things that the major platform services can do. With AI assistance, it's not hard to deploy or to scale. When you use a company like CF, you are opening the door to a permanent lock-in, to potential compromise of all your customer data by the government, and to extortion, all of which are avoidable.

There are many valid criticisms of Cloudflare but this article ain’t it.

That article has been debunked already. OP wanted to run an online casino and wanted to circumvent Cloudflare policies. Cloudflare simply asked them to show up with their own IP and instead OP went on to slander them.

OutOfHere•4mo ago
No, it hasn't. There is no excuse for what Cloudflare did which is to suddenly ask a seemingly locked-in customer for a lot more money under the threat of canceling them.
fragmede•4mo ago
Cloudflare sells DDoS protection. Including to botnet operators that sell DDoS services. That's seems a bit self-serving to me.
gethly•4mo ago
cloudflare is definitely one of those companies that is in most people's blind spot. no one ever asks how a company that has astronomical operational costs is able to thrive with free services which themselves break encryption of online communication...it's totally a tin foil hat time, but nobody cares as long as they get their free sh**
OutOfHere•4mo ago
They probably have a fat pipe straight to NSA's datacenter in Utah, with data flowing out and money flowing in.
ahofmann•4mo ago
Either this, or the other big cloud providers have astronomical margins. One could look at the financial reports of this companies to find out...
mcintyre1994•4mo ago
I suspect a lot of people ask that, because a while ago they wrote a blog post explaining why having a large free tier is important to their business model: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-commitment-to-free/
tedk-42•4mo ago
A data lake is a sensible business move to compliment their R2 object store.

For the longest time, you can query S3 in AWS through a range of their services and more (Athena being the most obvious).

They mention edge compute as a feature as well which is an interesting use case but from what I've seen in my day-to-day it's mostly teams in analytics/business intelligence that require SQL/UI for their queries in a mostly locked down environment as opposed to on the edge.

Edit: I have seen people discuss at work exposing our data lake in such a way that the backend apps can query it directly for data rather than rely on sync mechanisms to a postgres / other DB
