Yep, all our EdgeDNS zones as well as DSD edgekeys are just returning SERVFAILS. Many big german websites are down right now.

Several unrelated websites I was trying to visit are down. I figured I would find the answer on HN : )

Same haha

Probably Akamai needs to use Kubernetes.

EDIT: So HN can't even take a joke after this? [0]

I'm sick and tired of these types of services (I'm looking at you too Cloudflare) going down and taking otherwise healthy websites down with them.

Serious question, has anyone properly solved the issue of DNS as a single point of failure?

Cloudflare hasnt had an outage in a long time. And when they do they are upfront about it, and post a detailed post-mortem.
