Interesting(unnerving?) to see a number of domain registrars that offer their own DNS services utilize at least some kind of Cloudflare service for at least their own web fronts. Did a check on 6 registrar sites I currently interact with and half were down(Namecheap/Spaceship, Name, Dynadot) and up(Porkbun, Gandi, GoDaddy).

I just considered moving from Namecheap to Porkbun as Namecheap is down, but Porkbun use Cloudflare for their CAPTCHA meaning I'm unable to signup and I assume log in as well, so also no good.

DigitalOcean + Gandi means nothing I run is down. Amazing. We depend far too greatly on centralised services where we deem the value of reputation and convenience exceeds the potential downsides and then the world pays for it. I think we have to feel a lot more of this pain before regulation kicks in to change things because the reality is people don't change. The only thing you can personally do is run a lot of your…

DigitalOcean is indeed having issues.

I sometimes question my business decision to have a multi-cloud, multi-region web presence where it is totally acceptable to be down with the big boys.

That was something we discussed at my workplace.

Prior hosting provider was a little-known company with decent enough track record, but because they employed humans, stuff would break. When it did break, C-suite would panic about how much revenue is lost, etc.

The number of outages was "reasonable" to anyone who understood the technical side, but non-technical would complain for weeks after an outage about how we're always down, "well BigServiceX doesn't break ever, why do we?", and again lost revenue.

Now on Azure/Cloudflare, we go down when everyone else does, but C-Suite goes "oh it's not just us, and it's out of our control? Okay let us know when it fixes itself."

A great lesson in optics and perception, for our junior team members.

He's now on the Board so not left.

Not that I think blaming individuals on forums who are already under stress is a good strategy anyway.

Someone running cloudflared accidentally advertising a critical route into their Warp namespace and somehow disrupting routes for internal Cloudflare services doesn't seem too far fetched.

We vibe coded a tool to mass disconnect Cloudflare Warp for incident responders: https://github.com/aberoham/unwarp
