Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare?
- L7 DDoS protection: https://github.com/mora9715/haproxy_ddos_protector
You can run your own authoritative DNS server using either djbdns or nsd. Or use AWS Route 53.
Ultimately, it will involve (a lot of) glue code/config depending on what solution you go ahead with. Building your own DDOS protection and CDN can be operationally expensive as you may need to negotiate good rates with your ISP/VPS/Cloud for network bandwidth. It will also involve devops bandwidth in building for both low latency and availability. It will also involve keeping in sync with security fixes and the state of the art in terms of bot protection, etc. If this use case is not a core part of your business, it will be better to bite the bullet and go ahead with a 3rd party solution like Cloudflare / Cloudfront + WAF / Google Cloud Armor / Fastly

Ask HN: What's a good open-source alternative to Cloudflare?
Openresty with a few Nginx modules and Lua scripts can go a long way for many use-cases mentioned:
- ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity
- L7 Rate limiting: https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-limit-traffic
- Cache: https://github.com/ledgetech/ledge . Or use varnish which gives you VCL for high configurability
- CDN: https://github.com/taythebot/lightpath . This project seems to be a WIP which you can use as a starting point for your needs. You will also need to find good enough "edge" locations for your CDN.
Similarly, HAProxy does a lot of stuff with the correct config and is also extensible using Lua:
