I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, ..., even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting so many eggs in one basket.

95k websites use them according to BuiltWith, lots of big names there!

It is funny how ubiquitous Fastly is on internet. It seems like they run the whole internet.

I forgive them because it's Guru Mediation time. In this hectic harsh world, even computers need a moment sometimes.

I think internet just found out it's single point of failure.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this level of outage from Fastly.

Confucius say: move Fastly, and break things.
