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,

  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 reachable, so that would be a challenge as well.

    Panicking was not the plan. Asking for advice was.

  My suggestion is wait. I wouldn't even consider flipping my sites over to another DNS unless the outage begins lasting over four hours or so. A lot of top sites use Cloudflare and this sort of outage is extremely rare for them (I can't remember a time when Cloudflare's own site and dashboard were taken offline). Then again, it depends on the priority of your site. But there are tons of top sites on Cloudflare and I bet a lot of those places don't have plans for emergency switching over to another DNS provider / CDN on short notice as it's often a fairly disruptive change, especially now that more frontend logic for a site is implemented alongside the CDN/LB.
