Resolved now, but an hour of downtime really shows you why you are paying for bigger cloud providers with an SLA and customer support. Honestly I wish we could have turned cloudflare off for the time of the issue vs having our api being down... Maybe time to consider multiple CDN providers as an abstraction like you consider AWS/GCP as an abstraction.

> maybe time to consider multiple CDN providers Yes. While Cloudflare is generally rock solid, we can't let this happen again.

  That is actually a selling point too. I've looked at both Fastly and Cloudflare a while back to replace the budget CDN at my previous job after an outage, but found both had more and more serious downtime in the 24m before that. So I just made a script to quickly switch between providers, but I'd rather not have to deal with it at all :-)
