This could be really interesting, we are currently using some custom bot detection techniques that also try to slow down / crash chrome headless and such, but it would be nice if we could just use this new Cloudflare service and stop worrying about maintaining it.

I have a few questions, though:

1. How does this work with mobile apps / single page applications APIs? I'm worried this would block legitimate users

2. Is it possible to enable/disable this feature on URLs patterns using page rules? I'm not seeing the option right now

3. Do blocked requests end up in the firewall logs? If so, how do we filter for it? Specific rule id?

4. Is there a way to enable it in log mode in order to evaluate the impact it would have?

We are a team of really smart people working in a very well funded startup trying to disrupt insurance in Italy by using technology as our main competitive advantage. We employ a micro service architecture (10s of them are in production atm), Docker and AWS.

Most of our micro services are written in Elixir, we also have some Ruby, Haskell, Python, Go and Rust in production besides a legacy Symfony 2 application, while on the front end side we are mainly using Elm.

We have a lot of automation in place, we run a pretty comprehensive test suite on Drone CI at every push and every developer can spin up QA environments that mirror our entire stack for a given feature branch (this is made possible by having all of our infrastructure managed through CloudFormation templates). All of this allows us to confidently deploy to production multiple times per day.

Our stack:

  AWS (a lot of services), CloudFlare
  OS: Amazon Linux
  EC2 instance number: from ~30 to ~100: we scale automatically a lot of times during the day and treat our infrastructure as immutable
  Infrastructure: CloudFormation + scripts
  CD: Drone CI, Docker (dev -> qa -> staging -> production)
  Container orchestration: AWS ECS
  DB: Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, Redshift, ElastiCache Redis, DynamoDB
  Monitoring: ELK, DataDog, New Relic, CloudWatch
  Team organization: small cross functional agile teams (every team has at least one person for all of these roles: backend engineer, frontend engineer, web designer, qa engineer, devops engineer)
  Backend languages: Elixir, PHP (we're phasing it out long term), Haskell, Python, Rust, Ruby, Go
  Frontend languages: Elm, Javascript
Stuff that we like:
  Micro service oriented architecture
  Functional reactive programming
  Event sourcing (CQRS)
  Actor model
  Agile (Scrum)
  Domain-driven Design (DDD)

Author here, the project was originally named GitHub Notifier, however shortly after launch the legal department of GitHub contacted me and was very helpful to guide me through resolving the issues with the naming, they even sent me a mug to compensate for the trouble of going through the name change even though I was clearly violating their terms.

This looks really neat! We are deploying a few new microservices every month now and I'm afraid that things will get out of hand networking wise (we are too using ELBs for both load balancing and service discovery), so I'm looking forward to try Envoy, thank you for open sourcing it guys.

nginx.org: nginx-1.8.0 stable version has been released, incorporating many new features from the 1.7.x mainline branch - including hash load balancing method, backend SSL certificate verification, experimental thread pools support, proxy_request_buffering and more.

The article was posted a week ago, but there are no updates about iOS 8.2 as of today and since it shouldn't be too long to just upgrade iOS and see if after 10 attempts the device gets wiped I'm guessing that the fix for CVE-2014-4451 actually patched this but the news wasn't as interesting as it would've been "iOS 8.2 vulnerable too" to update the post with
