Hmm... Who just changed their dns vs. riding it out?
We did, we were slowly working towards migrating to AWS entirely and this just helped expedite it.
Cloudflare outage – 24 hours now

Re: Cloudflare outage – 24 hours now
#12I run hirevire.com one way video interview SaaS - and we were pretty much dead in the water during the Cloudflare Stream outage.
We moved out to BunnyCDN's stream after waiting for 20 hours.
One side benefit is that our videos are now stored in EU instead of Cloudflare's edge location around you.

#13I've heard tell of massive DDoS attacks against international news sources (AP, Reuters, NY Times). Not sure if this is related.
In this case it is not. A power outage in a critical data-center is the root cause here: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/hm7491k53ppg

#14Honestly Cloudflare's PR pissed me off yesterday.
Straight up going on LinkedIn and other socials telling everything was solved in one hour (actually 37 minutes), even though I and many other companies I know still had issues with their services *16 hours after* the post.
Those are things that make me reconsider my position with Cloudflare. Straight up lying and not verifying whether your customers are able to operate on your platform while impacting their operations but making PR stunts about how good and fast they are at solving critical issues is something that erodes credibility.
Especially after they used the Okta security failure to bash them on their blog for their lack of honest communication to their customers.

#16I never experienced a longer than 12 hours outage with any service provider over my ~13 years career (maybe I was lucky). But thanks to Cloudflare I have been able to enjoy not just one, but two ~24h outages in not even a month!
Jokes aside, it must be extremely stressful to be a SRE at CF recently. But something is clearly wrong over there. We have been burned so bad there is no chance we will touch CF ever again in the next decade once our migration off of it is complete.

#17BTW Cloudflare tunnels are not working (for the at least the last 16 hours), but it says "Operational" and "restored" on the ticket. Since Shopify's CLI uses Cloudflare tunnels by default to load local resources, Shopify partners are affected by this outage by unable to develop apps, unless they use another tunnel: [0] https://github.com/Shopify/cli/issues/3065 [1] https://github.com/Shopify/cli/issues/3060
Data point of just one, but my tunnels are working just fine.

Is it possible that you're referencing the other outage from the 30th? Just going by the 37 minutes number as it's very specific.
This outage (not the current one) was 37 minutes long:

If you've previously created a tunnel it will still work, just don't close it because you won't be able to open a new one.

Wasn't the previous outage on Oct 30 less than an hour?
