  That doesn't take away their embarrassment. It's mean how many websites rely on fastly. Twitter hasn't been loading emojis in a while, and I believe it's for the same reason.

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.
- OJFord 5y ago
  Me too, but in a way I'm even happier knowing that not everyone does and something else popular exists too.
- xuki 5y ago
  Now imagine how many sites would go down if it was CF
  - oneeyedpigeon 5y ago
    Do more rely on Cloudflare? Because this felt like it was more than half the internet, certainly more than half the biggest sites.
    - ohashi 5y ago
      I think so, Fastly seems to have a few huge enterprise clients while Cloudflare seems more balanced (and larger)
      - dotancohen 5y ago
        I think that Fastly starts at $50/month, no free tier. So that would preclude small or not-profit-motivated sites from using it.
  - s_fischer 5y ago
    No need to imagine! Just search HN for "cloudflare outage" and you'll see that it happened several times over the last few years
  - unityByFreedom 5y ago
    Is this a call for competition? I regard Cloudflare as state-of-the-art in terms of security and ease-of-use. I certainly hope their knowledge replicates across other organizations. As of now they're still building highly impactful tools that are easy to use and that noone else quite provides. I don't really expect another organization to match them given the strength of their current leadership. I think they've built in a head start for awhile.

      They have also been responsible for one the worst security incidents ever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13718752 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13718752 Only discovered we should not forget,due to the good graces of google project zero. A certain those of skepticism towards any technical offer out there would be advised.

  Google's Firebase platform uses Fastly so that's a significant chunk of the web.

Might not be the case anymore, but a few years back, Hackernews was just running on a single server.

  fairly sure it still is.
