All my sites running through Cloudflare Tunnel are very very slow, but still just about online. As a side note, I'll take this opportunity call out the superb Checkmk monitoring system which alerted me to this. I don't see Checkmk mentioned on HN that often... https://checkmk.com EDIT: Seems to be fixed. Good job!

I don’t think I’d use it even if they have a self-hosted version. The way they set their pricing based on “number of services” seems like the kind of tactic you use when you want to intentionally make things confusing so you can extract as much value as possible.

What happened to honest businesses with fair, easy to understand pricing?

I'm impressed they've updated their status page so quickly, unlike some of their cloud competitors

It's part of our process. Here's the internal timeline T+0 Automatic comms thread created T+1 XXX Is this a P0, do we need a status page? @YYY T+1 YYY Eyes on T+4 ZZZ Yes let's get super-generic status page up @XXX / @YYY - you have one handy? I see it now thx

It's definitely a differentiator. cough

Should be cleared up now. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the post. Yesterday you strongly rebutted me for saying that the widespread outages also were impacting Cloudflare [0], even tho it wasn't obvious to me at that time who was being impacted by who. Knowing the intricate connections of all the app and infrastructure and cloud providers is tricky! When stuff goes down, the blame gets spread around.

Well in my case the pricing is very easy to understand. It's free!

I only have So I certainly don't think that's exactly dishonest or unfair. It's been rock solid since I've used it. I don't know how many services you'd need to monitor but the starting prices for Standard and Enterprise seem pretty reasonable to me?

It probably doesn't scale to a very large operation - but then it's not really "cloud first" monitoring akin to something like Prometheus, so perhaps their target audience isn't really likely to have a huge number of services to monitor.

Unless the comment was edited, I don't think that was a "scolding" :-)

Is there a particular reason you perceived their response as "scolding?" It just looks like a straightforward answer.

Probably my interpretation. I should have said "strong rebuttal". Edited my comment above ;)
