#12Thank you for your service! Now, for an even bigger challenge: since it seems the increased demand for the Cloudflare status page brought down Amazon CloudFront for a bit as well, build a new CDN capable of handling that load as well...
Do you need a CDN for a static html, no images? I would guess no, even if you.are being bombarded with requests

Not a single client site has experienced downtime, and it feels great to finally decouple from U.S. services.

#14Sup dawg, I heard you like down detectors.

#15But we need another one to detect whether yours is still up. It's downdetectorsdown all the way down.
Given enough of them, some fraction will always be down. It would be helpful if we had a site that could track that ratio.

Downdetection can be thought of as a directed graph, or digraph*.
From there, the "who's watching who?" can become mathematically interesting.

I've done something similar, it's worth noting Scaleway in the same space, for people looking for an AWS replacement more like managed services (equivalents to fargate/lambda/sqs/s3/etc) instead of just bare instance hosting.
