Yes. Weird that https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ isn't reporting this properly. It should be full of red blinking lights.

  It's 1AM in San Francisco right now. I don't envy the person having to call Matthew Prince and wake him up for this one. And I feel really bad for the person that forgot a closing brace in whatever config file did this.

    Agreed, I feel bad for them. But mostly because cloudflare's workflows are so bad that you're seemingly repeatedly set up for really public failures. Like how does this keep happening without leadership's heads rolling. The culture clearly is not fit for their level of criticality

        How often do you hear of Akamai going down and they host a LOT more enterprise/high value sites than Cloudflare. There's a reason Cloudflare has been really struggling to get into the traditional enterprise space and it isn't price.
        inferiorhuman 10mo ago
        A quick google turned up an Akamai outage in July that took Linode down and two in 2021. At that scale nobody's going to come up smelling like roses. I mostly dealt with Amazon crap at megacorp, but nobody that had to deal with our Akamai stuff had anything kind to say about them as a vendor. At first blush it's getting harder to "defend" use of Cloudflare, but I'll wait until we get some idea of what actually broke. For the time being I'll save my outrage for the AI scrapers that drove everyone into Cloudflare's arms.

Company internal status pages are always like this. When you don't report problems they don't exist!
chironjit 10mo ago
Yeah, their status site reports nothing but then clicking on some of the links on that site bring you the 500 error
63stack 10mo ago
This is just business as usual, status pages are 95% for show now. The data center would have to be under water for the status page to say "some users might be experiencing disruptions".

Yeah. I only work for a small company, but you can be certain we will not update the status page if only a small portion of customers are affected, and if we are fully down, rest assured there will be no available hands to keep the status page updated
- s_dev 10mo ago
  >rest assured there will be no available hands to keep the status page updated That's not how status pages if implemented correctly work. The real reason status pages aren't updated is SLAs. If you agree on a contract to have 99.99% uptime your status page better reflect that or it invalidates many contracts. This is why AWS also lies about it's uptime and status page. These services rarely experience outages according their own figures but rather 'degraded performance' or some other language that talks around the issue rather than acknowledging it. It's like when buying a house you need an independent surveyor not the one offered by the developer/seller to check for problems with foundations or rotting timber.

    I imagine there will be many levels of "approvals" to get the status page actually showing down, since SLA uptime contracts is involved.
  - lucianbr 10mo ago
    Are the contracts so easy to bypass? Who signs a contract with an SLA knowing the service provider will just lie about the availability? Is the client supposed to sue the provider any time there is an SLA breach?
