Pretty much everything is down (checking from the Netherlands). The Cloudflare dashboard itself is experiencing an outage as well. Not-so-funny thing is that the Betterstack dashboard is down but our status page hosted by Betterstack is up, and we can't access the dashboard to create an incident and let our customers know what's going on. Edit: wording.

Same here. We’re using OhDear. The status page is available but I can’t post an incident because their service is also behind Cloudflare.

At some point we really need to think if this is the web we want, one/two major actors are down and everything goes with it Not downplaying the immense work of infra / engineering at this scale but my neighborhood local grocery market shouldn’t be down

Setting up a replica and then pointing your api requests at it when cloudflare request fails is trivial. This way if you have a SPA and as long as your site/app is open the users won't notice.

The issue is DNS since DNS propagation takes time. Does anyone have any ideas here?

It’s that time of the year again where we all realize that relying on AWS and Cloudflare to this degree is pretty dangerous but then again it’s difficult to switch at this point.

If there is a slight positive note to all this, then it is that these outages are so large that customers usually seem to be quite understanding.
