What is Cloudflare? ## General ### [[Cloudflare]] vs [[Route 53]] https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/awt3q6/what_are_the_advantages_of_using_route53_over/ *Route 53 knows about AWS resources, so you can do things like health checks against load balancers, you can do geo routing based on specific AWS resources.* *First off, you lose a bunch of CloudFlare features that have nothing do with DNS and either don't exist on AWS or have a fee on AWS (e.g. CloudFront). I use both, but prefer CloudFlare significantly over Route 53 because of the value added features. I use route 53 where I need better integration with AWS (e.g. alias, SSL cert, cli access). What that ends up meaning is that all of our internal infrastructure and some public resources use Route 53, but the majority of all our public facing resources are CloudFlare.*
