Cloudflare: Your status page showed "all systems operational" for over 20 minutes while your primary domain was returning a 502 error. Please change this to update automatically, many other engineering teams depend on you. https://i.imgur.com/qHBM2JW.png

We saw an update within 5 minutes of our sites going down. Are you doing caching somewhere?

Are you sure it wasn't cached? For us it was showing correctly the incident...

If cloudflarestatus.com isn't serving text content as Cache-Control: no-cache, that's itself an egregious bug.

Good. I'm tired of people not learning that trusting a single gateway with 50% of the internet is bad. Yes, I know, free DDOS protection. There has to be another way of doing this, some mesh based DDOS protection or so.

This seems like a case for putting more of the internet through a single gateway. Having my downtime correlated with everyone else's means users will be more forgiving because they'll perceive it as "the Internet's down" rather than "lkbm's site is broken". (We saw this with CloudFlare. Some users were pissed, and others jumped in with "it's not their fault; AWS is down". That doesn't happen when our stuff specifical…

Centralizing more of the Internet to help people align their excuses is probably the worst reasoning I've ever read

Holy crap, cloudflare down, and seemingly all the covers. Major sites such as Digitalocean are all down, and no way to easily disable cloudflare since their site is down.

The outage appears to have ended between that post and your post.

Interesting, I was command+shift+R refreshing and also tried from a VPN in another region. Perhaps our CF-hosted sites returned 502s in my region sooner than yours, causing me to check the status page sooner.
