Cloudflare Down?

Getting this when I try to login in multiple browsers: https://imgur.com/a/BfpGYzL

edit: They just updated their status page with "Cloudflare Dashboard and Cloudflare API service issues"

I feel for the engineers that have to deal with this, but I'm also secretly excited because it means there is a world-class drop of engineering wisdom coming in the postmortem blog post.

We don't usually see enough detail in the posts from FAANG (if they post at all) to learn as an industry, but Cloudflare has a history of providing actual wisdom after these sorts of events.

It's hard not to like them as a company.

CF was mentioned on the outages map for 1keyes [1] but does not look like it was a global issue. It does not appear to be actively having an issue. Perhaps a routing issue in your area?

I see the same here in Norway.

Their status page does not seem to mention anything about it yet though. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

That's how it normally is with larger tech companies, SLA agreements or something.

edit: Looks like I was 2 minutes early, they updated their status page. Nice to see a fast status update, kudos Cloudflare.

For CF, we send out these status pages manually. It's usually delayed due to wording, but not to tamper with the SLA. We do keep track of the accurate times AFAIK.

Disclaimer: I work @ CF

Yep, my Cloudflare API is not working already, I keep just got my first errors
