Application access
Review login, checkout, and administrative routes. Test abuse controls against legitimate customer actions.
[EDGE INDEPENDENCE // CDN REPLACEMENT]
Evaluate Cloudflare Alternatives
DESIGNA helps website owners review traffic routing, caching, access controls, and hosting. Its Antigravity Kernel adds application engineering to a proposed move.
Start with the services you use today. Keep, replace, or reconfigure each one according to the application's needs.
REPLACEMENT TARGETS
- Review content delivery and caching
- Test application access and abuse controls
- Plan Google Cloud routing and health checks
- Verify releases and recovery steps
Security: app-aware perimeter
Reliability: no single edge monoculture
Cost: transparent cloud resources
Control: customer-owned policy
Support: engineering-led response
Telemetry: direct runtime evidence

Understand the dependencies behind your website.
Cloudflare's published incident reports are useful inputs to a dependency review. Any replacement also needs a failure and recovery plan.
- 2017: Parser incident. Review the reported memory leak and response. Read Cloudflare's report
- 2019: WAF outage. Review how a rule affected web traffic. Read Cloudflare's postmortem
- 2022: Network outage. Review the network-change incident. Read Cloudflare's report
- 2025: November outage. Review the affected services and response. Read Cloudflare's report
- 2025: December outage. Review the change-propagation incident. Read Cloudflare's report
Build the replacement around your application.
Failure and recovery
Define health checks, routing behavior, and rollback for the proposed deployment.
Cost comparison
Compare current charges with migration, hosting, maintenance, and support costs.
Customer experience
Check whether challenges or routing rules interfere with the paths your customers use.
Engineering support
Connect error reports with application records and a named person responsible for diagnosis.
AI-assisted investigation
Titan can support application research and task preparation. Repairs follow the deployment's permissions and release checks.
Decide which services the site needs.
A dependency inventory should include DNS, caching, security rules, certificates, and application code.
DESIGNA scopes a replacement around that inventory. Some services may remain while others move to a different configuration.
What should the replacement include?
| Area | Current service: review | DESIGNA project scope |
|---|---|---|
| Security | Inventory access rules and challenges. | Test rules against customer actions. |
| Reliability | Review dependencies and recovery. | Define health checks and rollback. |
| Cost | Review actual service charges. | Estimate hosting and implementation costs. |
| Support | Review response expectations. | Define engineering support responsibilities. |
| Internet neutrality | Inspect customer access controls. | Validate the proposed rules. |
| Automation | Inventory automated checks. | Scope Titan tasks and release checks. |

CLOUDFLARE EXIT IS PRACTICAL
Size the deployment to the application.
Google Cloud provides hosting and traffic-management services. DESIGNA selects and configures the components required by the agreed project.
The Antigravity Kernel brings WordPress application delivery into that work. Titan adds task and monitoring tools.
A controlled migration.
1. Inventory dependencies
Map domains, rules, certificates, caching, and application functions.
2. Prepare the replacement
Configure the agreed hosting and routing services.
3. Test before cutover
Verify customer paths and recovery before changing DNS.
4. Check access controls
Test abuse controls alongside legitimate customer actions.
5. Monitor the release
Inspect errors and customer paths after deployment.
6. Review the result
Compare service costs and performance with the original setup.
Bring your website to a technical review.
A useful decision starts with your current services, operating costs, and requirements.
DESIGNA can scope the implementation and validation needed to make the move.
