Tell HN: Netlify is experiencing degraded performance

Just got some really confusing errors on a deployed frontend, got me to realize that Netlify seems to be having issues. Status page (https://www.netlifystatus.com/) seems up to date.


Does make me think about adding some level of redundancy to my site, failover at the DNS level perhaps.

Does anyone have an approach they'd recommend? Cloundflare perhaps?

All my media is served by cloudinary, so it should be easy to have the site served in more than one place and have the only single point of failure be the DNS server.


wouldn't your single point of failure be.. cloudinary?


I've been seeing this too for about an hour. LFS over git, builds and their large media service are not working.


Netlify seems like a scam, why not use Cloudflare instead?


lately it seems like the word "scam" is an overused word. Netlify provides a service, some think that service is valuable, ergo netlify is not a scam.


What service does it offer that Cloudflare doesn't offer? Last time I checked Cloudflare has almost everything Netlify offers.


So can you only have 1 company per service that exists?


How can you argue with free on Cloudflare?

Almost everything there that Netlify offers is free.


Because free almost never pays the bills and eventually go away

Ironic, that bait and switching of free until it's not sustainable could actually be considered a scam instead of a service with a sustainable fee


Cloudflare has been free from the beginning to IPO, executing well. No issues. Netlify can't afford to be free using VC money. Not sustainable.


They make money out of paid clients, this business model of having a few big clients paying for the free part, which is basically their marketing, isn't exactly new


Point still stands and Cloudflare is in a solid place to do this as I said from day 0. Vercel on the other hand just announced pricing changes that they are removing their free plan this week.

So I imagine those who were on Vercel's free plan will migrate to CF.
