Overall Satisfaction with Cloudflare
Cloudflare is used today to provide DDoS protection and TLS termination for various single-page applications. We use the system as a public-facing load balancer to protect our traffic and keep our site online - it automatically rejects connections from known attackers but also allows us to properly implement both TLS and other strong security headers without needing to run a dynamic server installation.
Pros
- DNS Configuration
- Free TLS Negotiation/Termination
- Automated Captcha Protection to Prevent Attacks
Cons
- More intuitive UI - It's sometimes hard to navigate
- DNS Configuration
- DDoS Protection/Prevention
- Basic accounts are free (no investment other than time) but yield high performance returns!
Cloudflare is a full DNS and load balancing system. AWS CloudFront handles load balancing and DDoS prevention, but on its own requires other services to handle DNS and various other features that are baked directly into Cloudflare. If you're hosting on AWS already, using the AWS stack (CloudFront) might be a better fit, but you can leverage Cloudflare as well with zero problems.
