Oi! Change it back!
Well, they can’t now :p
On one hand I think "Maybe I should diversify my infrastructure."
And on the other I think "But one of the biggest upsells was convinience."
And it's fortunate I don't have a third hand, because I'd be thinking "Oh crap oh crap I just migrated a client website to LightSail + CloudFlare saying how super awesome and robust it would be."
But it's okay now because it looks like everything is back up!

You can setup your domains using their CNAME method. You do not have to delegate your entire domain to them. https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/36002061511... Together with a short TTL we were able to recover without relying on their dashboards.
Only if you are a paid customer. The free service does not allow this, and this is why I do not use Cloudflare for personal use.
Cloudflare: Your status page showed "all systems operational" for over 20 minutes while your primary domain was returning a 502 error. Please change this to update automatically, many other engineering teams depend on you. https://i.imgur.com/qHBM2JW.png
Holy crap, cloudflare down, and seemingly all the covers. Major sites such as Digitalocean are all down, and no way to easily disable cloudflare since their site is down.
Don't want to go off topic, but if I want to prevent my website going down because of stuff like this in the future, will having back up DNS entries solve the problem? I know DNS will fall back if it can't reach a service, but would a 502 trigger that?
What would solve it is having your DNS have a low lifetime and then changing the DNS to point to not-Cloudflare. It would still be down for some users as long as the old (Cloudflare) DNS is cached, though.
