Lol - it's not that Cloudflare can't handle the traffic. It's the _framework_ can't handle the traffic and set up Cloudflare to ratelimit entry using their Waiting Room[0] product.

Clearly poorly messaged if it made you think it was a Cloudflare capacity issue!

WTF indeed, Framework. The whole point of a CDN is to keep your website operational when the number of visits scale up. A "waiting room" might as well be a 404.

Here's a screenshot of https://frame.work/ca/en/blog/category/news:

There's nothing up there that couldn't be statically cached.

Except, you know, the entire dynamic functionality of purchasing everything. Taht can't be cached.

This is weird. You can’t handle the load of a planned announcement on your landing page, in 2025? Something tells me their CTO role could use a new hire.

Quite funny as one of these desktops could likely handle the traffic :)

Not when every second line of code in the framework (haha) used really boils down to 250 calls and abstractions, when most of it is probably just strcpy()
