Isn't CF advertising themselves as the solution to needing multiple DNS' with their failsafes, switchovers and load balancing?
If I need to maintain multiple anyway, what's the benefit of CF to begin with? There are a million CDNs out there I could use instead, if I still have to maintain the network architecture.
Regardless of what they tell you, if you care about uptime, you ensure this yourself. I feel this is 60% the company's fault and 40% Cloudflare's.
Do you believe everything that companies tell you? If Google or Apple tell you "we're the solution to everything, you never need to buy anything else", do you listen to them?
No, but if I use a service to solve a specific problem only to see the need to have a failover in place regardless, I might as well not use the service.
