Summary

Michael Tomko, Production Director at The Able Few, shares his experience using CloudFlare for deploying simple websites quickly and efficiently. He recalls a conversation with a colleague who found it challenging to keep up with the latest web development techniques and tools. Tomko then describes how he built "IsTheGovernmentOpen.com" in just 30 minutes, using a single HTML file, some CSS, and a GIF. The website went viral after being featured on various news outlets and social media platforms. He praises CloudFlare for its role in keeping the site up during massive traffic spikes, emphasizing that it is not only simple to use but also worth using even on the free tier. Tomko concludes by stating that CloudFlare saves time and money for developers working on more complex projects.
