I didn't quite understand this. It sounds like Cloudflare's outage didn't affect you depite being their customer. Why did their large outage not affect you?

- jgrahamc 4y agoIt wasn't a global outage.
- prophesi 4y agoI thought it was global? 19 data centers were taken offline which "handle a significant proportion of [Cloudflare's] global traffic".
- ihaveajob 4y agoBut if your clients are mostly asleep while this is happening, they might not notice.
- jgrahamc 4y agoI am in Lisbon and was not having trouble because Cloudflare's Lisbon data center was not affected. But over in Madrid there was trouble. It depended where you are.
- prophesi 4y agoGotcha, so it was out internationally, but selectively.
- mkl 4y agoFrom the article: "Depending on your location in the world you may have been unable to access websites and services that rely on Cloudflare. In other locations, Cloudflare continued to operate normally."
- madeofpalk 4y agoI did not notice Cloudflare going down. Only reason I knew was because of this thread. Either it was because I was asleep, or my local PoP wasn't affected.
- uhhhhuhyes 4y agoBecause of the time at which the outage occurred, most of this person's customers were not trying to access the site.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoWe still get several hundred pageviews per hour during the outage. It just didn't seem to effect us much for some reason (but the reason is not that nobody was going to our site anyways) I did get an alert from Uptime Robot but when I checked everything was fine and so I thought it was a false positive.
