I was going back and forth about whether to post this; we're clearly experiencing some sort of partial outage, New Relic Synthetics shows everything offline (except for Sydney for whatever reason), but the actual webserver logs indicate healthy traffic and the sites load when I visit it. "Cloudflare is observing" is pretty opaque.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not their fault as accidents happen to everyone. You should be prepared for such a scenario and for many others too.
You are right, accidents happen to anyone. I cannot really be prepared for Cloudflare to go down though. What are my alternatives? Turn it off and route traffic to our servers directly? The DNS propagation takes longer than it just took for our website to be available again.
If you just log in to Cloudflare and click the "orange cloud" icon on the DNS tab, which points the domain back directly to your origin, you'll see the site up within a couple minutes.
This appears to be a routing problem. All our systems are running normally but traffic isn't getting to us for a portion of our domains. 1128 UTC update Looks like we're dealing with a route leak and we're talking directly with the leaker and Level3 at the moment. 1131 UTC update Just to be clear this isn't affecting all our traffic or all our domains or all countries. A portion of traffic isn't hitting Cloudflare. L…

The current it stack needs a do-over. These outages already happen on accident often because of human error. Imagine the damage a state actor could inflict by targeting these large data centers. I hope that some of the newer decentralized cloud startups like dfinity or storj takes over.

Thanks for the updates. I wish I could get this information somewhere other than hacker news though. :(
