I'm sick and tired of these types of services (I'm looking at you too Cloudflare) going down and taking otherwise healthy websites down with them.

Most websites using Akamai aren't gonna be "otherwise healthy" without the CDN handling most of the load.

There aren't many sites that aren't, including "otherwise healthy websites" hosted without a CDN.

I think this is a factually true statement if your business uses any computers. ;)

Cloudflare hasnt had an outage in a long time. And when they do they are upfront about it, and post a detailed post-mortem.
