Everyone laughs when AWS collapses, everyone is silent when Cloudflare collapses. Why? Because the place to laugh has collapsed.

- sutton12345 11mo agoHAHAHAHA
- imdsm 11mo agoI'm not sure whether to laugh or cry Maybe I'll do both
- sutton12345 11mo agoYEP that's the case nowwwww
- belter 11mo agoOne is every seven years... the other one is a ...monthly event?: https://hn.algolia.com/?https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=cloudflare%20issues&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=al...
- ceejayoz 11mo agoMost of those aren’t outages, and both providers have big blips. Globally meaningful outages of either are quite rare.
- mvdtnz 11mo agoThis is at least the third time in the past year that Cloudflare has caused a significant outage of my product.
- 6031769 11mo agoAnd you are still using them because ... ?
- mvdtnz 11mo agoWe handle ~2M requests per second and CF eliminates about ⅔ of those. We need CF or something like it. Multi edge is harder than it sounds at very large scale.
- viraptor 11mo agoThere are still alternatives like Bunny https://status.bunny.net/history https://status.bunny.net/history (may not be for everyone, but I like to post the CF alternatives so it becomes ever so slightly less of a default)
- belter 11mo agoIts actually way more than monthly... It seems nobody does outages like Cloudflare... https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=8 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=8 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=7 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=7 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=6 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=6 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=5 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=5 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=4 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=4 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=3 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=3 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=2 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=2 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=1 https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/history?page=1

- AnkerSkallebank 11mo agoEveryone is silent when Cloudflare collapses. Same goes for Azure, but that is because noone uses it.
- imdsm 11mo agoWhen Azure goes down: Oh well When Cloudflare goes down: Oh no
- exe34 11mo agoDown detector broke.... :-D
- techguy1954 11mo agoYeah, how ironic. The site that is designed to tell you if something else is down, is currently down.
- dspillett 11mo agoLife imitates art, Red Dwarf ~1989: Lister: What's the damage Hol? Holly: I don't know. The damage report machine has been damaged.
- tfiskgul 11mo agoIt also reminds me of this part of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/661/mostly-harmless-by-douglas-adams/9780739332146/excerpt https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/661/mostly-harmless-...

- pelagicAustral 11mo agoOMG! today of all days!
- nrhrjrjrjtntbt 11mo agoBlack Tuesday
- tzpbingo 11mo agoBecause those who were mocking him couldn't speak, X also crashed.
- timeon 11mo agoThis would be true in the past but now most people are not on Twitter.
- weberer 11mo ago"Most people" were never on Twitter to begin with. However its number of monthly active users have only grown since 2020.
- timeon 11mo ago> However its number of monthly active users have only grown since 2020. Like everywhere it is mostly bots. Look at HN frontpage, there used to be 1-2 Twitter post per day. Now it is barely per week. End even those are usually just from two accounts (Karpathy and Carmack).
- JdeBP 11mo agoSadly, I can report that this has brought down 2 of the major Mastodon nodes in the United Kingdom. Happily, the small ones that I also use are still going without anyone apparently even noticing. At least, the subject has yet to reach their local timelines at the time that I write this. 2 of the other major U.K. nodes are still up, too.

- r0fl 11mo agoPeter Levels wisdom about why to host not on aws not looking so wise right now
- basilgohar 11mo agoThere are places other than AWS to host.
- matt-p 11mo agoCloudflare down because of a DDOS is extremely funny.
- sammy2255 11mo agoThere's no evidence to suggest it was a result of a DDoS attack
- freakynit 11mo ago[dead]
- simondotau 11mo agoThat's true, but there is evidence that it would be extremely funny.
- matt-p 11mo agoThere's no public evidence. Lets wait for the blog post.
- brazukadev 11mo ago> Everyone laughs when AWS collapses, everyone is silent when Cloudflare collapses Everyone laughs when Azure collapses too
- mlrtime 11mo agoWho is silent?
