Ask HN: HN's usage of Cloudflare

1 point

12 years ago

Recently when HN went down I saw the screenshot: http://imgur.com/EuQuaUg which clearly shows HN using Cloudflare's RailGun (https://www.cloudflare.com/railgun). I was not aware that HN used Cloudflare for its delivery needs

I was wondering if you can help the community by answering the following:

   - How did you choose Cloudflare over say Cloudfront?
   - Any numbers that you can share before and after the deployment in terms of the speed up
   - Any guidelines for other companies on how best to choose a delivery partner?
