Can a system like Cloudflare or AWS shield be decentralized?
Decentralized? No… How do you imagine that would look?
You can DIY something w/HAproxy or similar, but it won’t have a chance of mitigating a large DDoS attack.
This is one of those areas where you probably need to work in big tech to get hands on experience with the state of the art, because the resource requirements are too large for a small operation where DDoS mitigation isn’t the core product.
