Some things aren't as easy to mitigate, like DDOS attacks. If that's a legitimate concern, something like Cloudflare makes a ton of sense.
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.
