Ask HN: Cloudflare WAF Alternatives?

5•rco8786•1h ago
I don't know if we're ready to pull the trigger yet, but curious if other folks are looking at alternatives.

The WAF is great, but recent events have made it obvious that having a single point of failure entirely defeats the purpose of DNS being a distributed/decentralized service.

Is anyone doing anything creative here? We like the features that the WAF provides - but not at the expense of global outages. If you have a 3 9s availability SLA, you've just blown 90% of your allotted downtime because of Cloudflare's WAF.

AWS Route53, built-in DDoS basic protections, plus AWS WAF (can be expensive depending on your budget).
