NPM is down as a result.
Notion is also down as a result
LinkedIn, Perplexity as well
Claude offline too. 500 errors on the web and the mobile app has been knocked out.

500 internal server error on most things:

500 Internal Server Error cloudflare

Just experienced this and came here to check, because even their website is down. The referenced link also returns with 500.
"In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary. Dec 05, 2025 - 07:00 UTC"

No need. Yikes.

Who knows, maybe it will be because of C or C++ this time. Or something else.
They rewrote some of their core components from nginx+LuaJit to Rust for better perf and lateny recently. I guess there are some bugs in the new codebase.
At least the 500 error announces ownership.

Imagine how productive we'll be now!

Round 2 of Cloudflare outages.

We can now see which companies have failed in their performative systems design interviews.

Looking forward to the post-mortem.

Interestingly, my site running on workers https://codeinput.com is still functioning. Worth mentioning that I don't use Cloudflare firewall/caching (directly exposed workers)
CloudFlare: You can't go down if you're never up.
This is not good. One major outage? Something exceptional. Several outages in a short time? As someone thats worked in operations, I have empathy; there are so many “temp havks” that are put in place for incidents. but the rest of the world won’t… they’re gonna suffer a massive reputation loss if this goes on as long as the last one.
Isn't it happening a little too often now? Did someone .unwrap in production again?
Internet-level companies are having more outages recently. Is the exposed surface area increasing or is the quality of service suffering?
