I asked a sales rep once about services going out and how that would affect CF For Teams. They said it would be virtually impossible for CF to go down because of all their data centers around the world. Paraphrasing, “if there’s an outage, there’s definitely something going wrong with the internet.”
FWIW, I'm a Cloudflare Enterprise customer and we had zero downtime. Only thing that was temporarily unavailable was the cloudflare dashboard.
I feel like a lot of people in this thread are commenting under the impression that all of Cloudflare was down for 24 hours when in reality I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of customers were unaffected and unaware of the incident.
I wouldn't even have known of the outage had it not been for HN..
2nd this. We had zero downtime on anything in production. The only reason we knew is because we are actively standing up a transition to R2 and ran into errors configuring buckets.
Even honest engineers cannot foresee the exact cascading consequences effects of such outages. Sales reps are not paid to be either competent on such issues nor to be honest.
And here we are. My trust in them has hit zero.
