If I'm remembering correctly, there was another outage around 10 days ago.

It still surprises me that there are basically no free alternatives comparable to Cloudflare. Putting everything on CF creates a pretty serious single point of failure.

It's strange that in most industries you have at least two major players, like Coke vs. Pepsi or Nike vs. Adidas. But in the CDN/edge space, there doesn't seem to be a real free competitor that matches Cloudflare's feature set.

It feels very unhealthy for the ecosystem. Does anyone know why this is the case?

I reckon AWS is "free enough" for most of its users, but it's not as easy nor as safe for the common user.
