<p>That is true at a certain scale, but there is also a reason why large organizations like Cloudflare ran nginx on their edge over any other product.</p>

<p>Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.<p>We had the same thing happen with any email with 2f<domain> anywhere in the message body on Google workspace<p>The "2F" URL decodes to slash / and a third party registered our 2f<company>.com (probably for nefarious purposes)<p>That kicked on the automatic filtering on messages that had URL encoded links and started blocking them.<p>Eventually, we had to register 2fgoogle.com ourselves to escalate the issue.</p>

<p>Safari on IOS still has a ton lingering HTTP/3 / QUIC bugs.<p>I think it is to the point that if your user base doesn't warrant it, (i.e. you are targeting well connected devices with minimal latency/packetloss) it's not even worth turning HTTP/3 on</p>

<p>Its great. We use it.<p>I'm not sure I would call it even close to battle hardened.<p>They are still many lurking footguns and bugs.<p>Try running it with > 250k tables. Falls down hard.<p>Error logic around etcd/topo server is very shaky, edge cases can wedge cells/clusters into broken state.</p>

<p>Also pretty easy to implement disk quotas on a modern system.<p>Heck, you could even display a warning or the top directories consuming space upon login.<p>Not a great take - this is a operations problem, not a design problem.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, it’s going on two weeks that a large volumetric amplification attack has been coming from CF itself against systems I manage.<p>Ironically, their abuse report does validate the domain being used to route traffic is a registered customer domain. But the abuse report and even Slack pings have yet to affect the traffic. It’s incredibly frustrating because you’d expect a company like Cloudflare, which positions itself as a defender against DDoS and similar threats, to take action much more quickly when they’re part of the problem.</p>

<p>We all know its all about the money.<p>I want to know that you care enough to have done a modicum of research on your new potential employer. And in turn, that you can give a short answer on why you might want to spend 40 some hours a week with us.<p>If you can't do that, (and it really just is all about the money) then that's just a precursor to a disaster or new future burn out.</p>
