Cloudflare is experiencing a bit of karma and a bit of Murphy’s Law.

They slung some mud not long ago and now it came to bite them. They were a bit righteous on their reliability. However, anyone in this game long enough knows it’s only a matter of time before shit goes down. If they didn’t have any graybeards over there to tell them this, then hopefully they earned some gray.

Stuff was down long enough for Googles and OpenDNS caches to expire, and to take down DigitalOcean in some respects.

Thankfully CF can afford to learn and make improvements for the future. Not all organizations are that lucky.
