Ask HN: Is Fastly down?

5 points by jpetrucc ↗ HN
It appears that many sites are having issues currently:

https://rubygems.org/ https://reddit.com/

Also unable to run bundle installs or gem installs, potentially related?

Also, if you hard reload Slack (ctrl-shift-r) the icons on the far left don't load.

That doesn't seem to have anything to do with Cloudflare. Cloudflare isn't handling traffic for those sites. They both appear to be handled by Fastly. Also we are not down.

(Title was "Is Cloudflare down?" which is why I replied).

Sorry for assuming! My first thought was a CDN or caching layer, and Cloudflare is the first that comes to mind. I should've investigated a bit more

No worries. Perhaps Fastly's having a bad day in your area. It happens. #hugops

FWIW I can get to reddit.com and rubygems.org without any trouble for London.

It seems related to Google DNS, as when I switched from that to the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1's all of these sites are available again!
