Well it was bound to happen eventually, the "Down Roulette" has decided it should be Cloudflare this week!

I think everyone is in the same boat with thinking they took something offline :^) Concerning though how much the web relies on one (great) service.

I had just deployed. Started reverting commits like crazy.

At some point we really need to think if this is the web we want, one/two major actors are down and everything goes with it Not downplaying the immense work of infra / engineering at this scale but my neighborhood local grocery market shouldn’t be down

There’s certainly a business case for “which nines” after the talk of n nines. You ideally want to be available when your competitor, for instance, is not.

A colleague of mine just came bursting through my office door in a panic, thinking he brought our site down since this happened just as he made some changes to our Cloudflare config. He was pretty relieved to see this post.

Well, you can never be sure that he didn't:
