Cloudflare lags. Here are expert tips: what to do to ensure the operation of web services

Today, there was a massive outage of the Cloudflare CDN service around the world. Ukraine is no exception. Some Internet services and web resources are still down.

The editorial team contacted experts from Ukrainian cloud provider De Novo. Here is what advice they provided.

There are several ways to reduce the risk of your site going down due to issues with Cloudflare, including:

1. Using Multi-CDN (several CDNs at the same time) is the most effective option.

Connect two or more CDNs (for example: Cloudflare + Fastly / Akamai / Bunny / Imperva).

Traffic management is carried out through:

DNS balancers (NS1, DNSMadeEasy, Route53);

Specialized multi-CDN managers (Cedexis, PerfOps).

If one CDN goes down, traffic automatically switches to another.

2. Use independent DNS instead of Cloudflare DNS

Even if Cloudflare CDN/Proxy is down, your DNS may continue to work if it is outside of Cloudflare.

Reliable DNS options:

  1. AWS Route53;
  2. NS1;
  3. DNSMadeEasy;
  4. CloudDNS.

«If DNS is also in Cloudflare, you are 100% dependent on their infrastructure,» the engineers emphasize.
