This post alleging extortion from CloudFlare¹ is plausible/cautionary. Market monopolies/tech mono-cultures suck so it's tempting to just be outraged at CF.

However, we allow this when we cede control to third parties (not just cloud) without mitigation plans, by NOT:

• using open standards/formats
• separating concerns
• staffing expertise in-house/independent long-term partners
• balancing risk with cost

Let's have that bigger talk!
