I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, .... Even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting too many eggs in one basket.

Why is this a link to the Fastly homepage, where absolutely no information is provided?

This is the page that should be linked:

GitHub? I had some issues, checked the service status page said no issues, but images were returning a 503. Maybe they host their service status page elsewhere including using fastly.

Such a huge number of sites. It seems like it's mostly US based sites and Australians are okay. Sending good vibes to whatever poor person is on support right now.

The whole idea of the internet was a distributed network impervious to most attacks.

The reality is that a single failure can knock out 90% of the services people use.
