I don’t know the technical issues but it doesn’t seem prudent for a business to have a single point of failure.

Sometimes you just have to deal with it. If your site sits behind CloudFlare you'd probably be better off just weathering the storm.

#20Wow, this is nuts. Reddit was down, shrugged it off since they don't have the best reliability.
Jumped onto GH pages, and ended up with a 502, so knew it was time to jump onto HN.
I didn't realise it was such a popular CDN these days.
