It surprises me that companies like Uber depend on them. You’d think that by the time you’re as big as Uber that you’d be able to just endure a DDoS but I guess the threat of multi-terabit DDoSs and the cost of the associated downtime would be enough to scare anybody smaller than AWS.

And why take the risk? Just pay Cloudflare to take care of it instead of getting all the expertise in house, surely that’s cheaper, no?

You don’t even need to pay them, this service is free.

The basic service is free. There’s an enterprise tier with more features, such as prioritizing IP ranges (e.g. geographical areas the company operates in).
