someone will have their coffee break cut short at cloudflare, oops!
Many more will get an extended coffee break.
Some will get an eternal coffee break.

#32Flexential PDX02 reportedly lost power around the same time this started.
Yikes, I'm curious how that happened. Our Flexential has 5 generators and a basement full of battery backups along with isolated zones.

> Looks like they lost utility, switched to generator, and then generator failed (not clear on scope of Gen failure yet).

#33This is not looking good. I really hope they don't move away from dogfooding because of this. Also vercel deployments (and edge functions in general) aren't working. Their status page says: "We identified the root cause as an issue with one of our upstream providers and working with them towards mitigation." I wonder if edge functions use workers under the hood lol. LINK: https://www.vercel-status.com/
I'm pretty sure edge functions are just workers with an little extra code for metrics and stuff.

#34for example cloudflare tunnels will not work if restarted, our production is running with 1 single tunnel now.
Whats the reason for using tunnels and not just ip addresses?
You don't have to expose any ports to the internet, preventing people from finding and directly attacking your origin servers.

Makes firewall/ACL administration much simpler for one. Also makes it easier to hide and/or rotate origin IPs.

#37I dunno. Cloudflare gives me the creeps. I have no idea why so many folks think large swaths of the Internet should be reliant on a single company.

#38Two outages in the last week now. EDIT: To the dead comment response, this has nothing to do with programming language choice.

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
If only there was a protocol of some sorts that allowed you to send/receive code and patches even if the centralized hub everyone uses for synchronization was down...
Most of the time it's not about the code. Project management, issue tracking and prioritization, discussions, PR reviews, searching across the organization repos, etc.
There are (all too rare) tools that back those objects with git as well.
And there's always fossil ...

But it's not git. :-(

In principle I agree with this, but do feel this is said more readily about Cloudflare than other companies it could said about - such as Amazon (via AWS), Google and Microsoft.
Perhaps my own mental model is wrong, but I see them as a credible challenger to those very oligopolistic companies, and wish there were more Cloudflares.
