Except that it wasn't their architecture which allowed them to weather this storm: it's Cloudflare's. And the storm is a whopping 1.85 requests per second, all coming from Europe which means this isn't even a DDoS to begin with.

But they didn't active the "Under Attack" mode in Cloudflare, so surely they must be doing it all by themselves.

Probably mincing words but I guess I consider cloudfare part of the architecture and not part of their infrastructure and it seems like you’re conflating the two?

I do get that the volume of data and requests they are handling hardly constitutes the claim of ddos.
