Thats even more reason to switch to Route 53. I didn't choose cloudflare at the beginning but its clear its a bit of a liability here.

To put it in perspective, we had to send out apology emails to very irate customers when our system went down for 10 minutes in December.

edit: Route 53 not S3*

You use Cloudflare for DNS but are moving over to S3 to replace Cloudflare?

Do you not mean Route 53, AWS’s DNS product?
