And just 30 minutes ago we were about to flip the switch on a months long migration to Cloudflare Pages for our new website, I guess some things weren't meant to be :')

Omg. What timing. I feel your pain. We recently migrated to Cloudflare Pages and I was happy at the speed and everything and now this :(. Never had a downtime when I self hosted on my DigitalOcean droplet. damn. Re-considering going back to old school nginx static site hosting.

Well then you haven't used DO that long, I get regular emails about X or Y server needing to go down for maint.

It is funny that just a few days ago the company that laughed at Okta for a breach and whose core competency is availability are now experiencing an outage.

You should probably indicate what you meant by laughed at okta. Do you have a link??

Maybe "laugh" is not accurate, idk. But their post kinda looked like 'here, we built this tool that should have been made by okta'.

Ongoing DDoS attacks are targeting sites that raise funds for Gaza relief efforts: https://twitter.com/arblauvelt/status/1719027920054702363 I wonder if there's a connection.

Not related. (I am the PM lead for Workers databases & storage)

Is there a postmortem coming ? Would you be able to tell us what happened at a high level ?

This should be resolved. We’re still investigating the underlying root cause, and intend to share a write-up once we have that in hand.

This is not the way we wanted anyone to start their week.

3:55 PM Eastern: Our entire website hosted on cloudflare pages is returning 500. I also cannot login to the dashboard either (it just spins) EDIT 4:10 PM Eastern: Now I can login to the dashboard but "Workers and Pages" menu is returning errors and no access. Website still down :( EDIT at 4:23 PM Eastern: RESOLVED. Website (cloudflare pages) is back up now for me. Looks like they took about 25 mins to resolve.

3.55pm eastern. My websites work

4.10pm eastern, still working

4.23 eastern. Yep you guessed it

Half an hour means they’ve lost their five nines for this year based on this outage alone.

I really appreciate how you've showed up quickly and given direct answers. It's an admirable level of comms for a company so large.

Those might have had downtime, but never reported
