Hm, it’s over.

And now it is back up

we are back up I think

Docker Hub is affected as well

LinkedIn was also affected.

Raise your hands if you don't use Cloudflare in your stack and are proud of your decision.

You are the future of the operational internet!

Is perplexity down too as a result of this? Seeing mixed reports

Am I tripping cuz I saw this a while ago

Chess dot com was affected, I got a Cloudflare internal server error at the end of one of my matches.

Gitlab is affected as well :(

According to UpDog [0], the incident only lasted 35 minutes (8:40 - 9:15). And the Cloudflare status page seems to validate this timeline.

While down times are not ideal, that's quite an impressive achievement to be able to resolve an incident of this scale in minutes - not hours.

This happening exactly when the ticket sale for Evanescence was happening, in which the payment method was hosted on Cloudflare was really funny,

This needs to be changed, whole web was stopped working - it's a big responsibility and Cloudflare should acknowledge it.

Another Option::unwrap incident perchance?

who else was woken up in the middle of the night for on-call pages because of cloudflare?

Complexity is the enemy of availability (and security, and a few more things besides).

why tinyurl.com was down...

Maybe some company could start up that had decentralized backups/mirrors/caches of websites in case cloudflare goes down...

How crazy is it that Lime bikes become unusable if Cloudflare goes down? I hope Waymos are not on cloudflare

Looks like this time they first considered that they screwed up themselves, unlike the last time when they were fighting a phantom attack for a while until they realized that it was their own fault.

HB1 in action

If all you use them for is caching, then they could provide webhooks for their scheduled maintenance so customers can disable cloudflare during the maintenance and reenable it once it's all good.

However, for customers using other things, perhaps we need an independent cloudflare for cloudflare service that serves its own cache of your site when cloudflare is inaccessible.

Could combine the two ideas so when there is scheduled cloudflare maintenance, it switches dns to the cloudflare for cloudflare service that uses cloudflare if online but if cloudflare is offline then serves cache, and once cloudflare maintenance is finished then restore cloudflare dns.

Plex, Plexamp, and accounts in Sonos went down.
