Shopify's CDN is down. Which is causing $15+ million in lost product sales for every hour of outage. Not to mention the loss of any new customers.

While we're here.. I am a bit surprised to see how many sites use Fastly. As a dev I've always been happy with Cloudflare.
Now imagine how many sites would go down if it was CF
"The internet will just route around a local / centralised problem ... like water around an object" Obligatory LOL ...
My money is on an expired internal certificate or CA.
Yeah so it's been mentioned in the comments already, but to everyone in Fastly right now: I feel for you. Something like this must be insanely stressful, and not just during the outage. There will be (should be) a massive post-mortem. People will be losing sleep over this for days, weeks, months. :( Edit: There seems to be a major empathy outage in this thread.

Call me old fashioned but the latest trend of showing "empathy" for a serious incident, then proceeding to dance around the aftermath of it, whilst people give themselves a pat on back in a retro/post-mortem, isn't the way to do it.

(Call me old fashioned, but what I learned from it, having no stake in the game, is we are truly demolishing the resilient, decentralised nature of the internet; or already have done so)

The point isn't to dance around the incident, but to not blame people. You can blame systems, design, engineering culture, processes, but don't blame people. Even if someone accidentally pressed the 'destroy prod' button, that's not the fault of that person, it's the fault of that button existing and being accessible in the first place. I have no empathy for Fastly-the-company. I hate the fact that the Internet is ce…
People must be held accountable to have good incentives to reduce such outtages in the future.
I do agree though that we should always be compassionate and realistic with other humans.
