#264Interestingly enough, also some MS/Azure services are down. For example https://www.office.com/ just returns: >We are sorry, something went wrong. >Please try refreshing the page in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please visit status.cloud.microsoft for updates regarding known issues. The status page of course says nothing
Linkedin -> the same

#265Ooof, this one looks like a big one! canva.com chess.com claude.com coinbase.com kraken.com linkedin.com medium.com notion.so npmjs.com shopify.com (!) and many more I won't add bc I don't want to be spammy. Edit: Just checked all my websites hosted there (~12), they're all ok. Other people with small websites are doing well. Only huge sites seem to be down. Perhaps they deal with them separately, the premium-tier of…
readthedocs down is hurting me the most. My small websites are doing OK.

#266Seems to be back up.
Re: Cloudflare was down
#267This is not good. One major outage? Something exceptional. Several outages in a short time? As someone thats worked in operations, I have empathy; there are so many “temp havks” that are put in place for incidents. but the rest of the world won’t… they’re gonna suffer a massive reputation loss if this goes on as long as the last one.
This is a good reminder for everyone to reconsider making all of their websites depend on a single centralized point of failure. There are many alternatives to the different services which Cloudflare offers.
But the nature of a CDN and most other products CF offers, is central by nature.
If you switch from CF to the next CF competitor, you've not improved this dependency.
The alternative here, is complex or even non-existing. Complex would be some system that allows you to hotswap a CDN, or to have fallback DDOS protection services, or to build you own in-house. Which, IMO, is the worst to do if your business is elsewhere. If you sell, say, petfood online, the dependency-risk that comes with a vendor like CF, quite certainly is less than the investment needed- and risk associted with- building a DDOS protection or CDN on your own; all investment that's not directed to selling more pet-food or get higher margins at doing so.

South African here. Down on our side. Huge sites, like our primary news site is down - medical services, emergency service/information etc... all down. It's been like this since 11:00am our time, so about 13minutes now.

#269And it's on Friday again — never change, Cloudflare.
Gentle reminder that every affected company brought it upon themselves. Very few companies care about making their system resilient to 3rd party failures. This is just another wake-up call for them.
Re: Cloudflare was down
#270It is up for me.
All the sites that were 500 error before are able to load now.
