CloudFlare had a huge DNS outage yesterday that broke half the Internet for NY/NJ and some other location.

Hopefully these lessons teach us that single points of failure are bad.

I'm always puzzled whenever I have to enable a Cloudflare script on a site that clearly doesn't have enough volume to need it and would have been more robust and simpler with a traditional data center. It also annoys me to no end that I have to permit JavaScript from random hosts to support a cloud server that should be completely transparent to me.

The site just probably doesn't like getting DDoSed.

Is that true? Did CF break Verizon or was it the other way around?
