That's a no-go if you transferred your domains to Cloudflare Registrar.
Something something all your eggs in one basket :)
Investigating - Cloudflare is observing network performance issues. Customers may be experiencing 502 errors while accessing sites on Cloudflare. We are working to mitigate impact to Internet users in this region.
It seemed very much like a global outage affecting all services. Is this status page not automatically updated with service status, or is it just manually updated by humans? Even if manually updated, surely when posting that status message, the status of all the services should be set to degraded?
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

Any workarounds or solutions ? I'm an on-call engineer with lots of questions coming in. I'm not sure what I can do apart from moving the domain off Cloudflare, bug DNS propagation would take a few hours and by then Cloudflare might be up again.
Outages can always happen, when they do with companies like this, at least you'll know that some of the best people out there are working on the issue and that it will be resolved asap. CloudFlare has proven in the past to be a very capable party, I don't think panicking now and try to move everything away is a smart move. Also, a few people have been saying that even if you want to, the site to do so is not reachabl…
7,5% of all websites... https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cn-cloudflare/all/a...
Though some of them might not be because of Cloudflare, the ones I spot checked all do appear related. Medium, DigitalOcean, Shopify, CodeShip, Pingdom, and many more. The impact is staggering.
Good. I'm tired of people not learning that trusting a single gateway with 50% of the internet is bad. Yes, I know, free DDOS protection. There has to be another way of doing this, some mesh based DDOS protection or so.
After trolling Verizon curious what reasons they will come with for that outage.
Care to elaborate how they were "trolling" Verizon?

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?
No, you'd need to use an application-aware DNS provider like Route 53 that could detect the failure. Backup DNS entries won't help, what you need is to use multiple DNS providers and add them all to your NS records
Since I'm mostly thinking about static sites, I could also have something local that pings the site, and if it goes down, it could update my nameservers to point elsewhere on its own.
Probably more trouble than its worth though.
The internet is designed to withstand a nuclear attack. It's so sad to see half of the internet going down because of a single system failure.
