You are the future of the operational internet!
Hard to know what 3rd party services you depend on uses Cloudflare.
For hosting, we use a local and sovereign EU provider.
If tomorrow Cloudflare, Amazon, and Microsoft were to somehow disappear or go permanently down, I wouldn't even notice.
I guess it had an active connection through the game end though, maybe web sockets. I was afraid it wasn't recorded because I played quite well!
However, for customers using other things, perhaps we need an independent cloudflare for cloudflare service that serves its own cache of your site when cloudflare is inaccessible.
Could combine the two ideas so when there is scheduled cloudflare maintenance, it switches dns to the cloudflare for cloudflare service that uses cloudflare if online but if cloudflare is offline then serves cache, and once cloudflare maintenance is finished then restore cloudflare dns.
Plex, Plexamp, and accounts in Sonos went down.
While down times are not ideal, that's quite an impressive achievement to be able to resolve an incident of this scale in minutes - not hours.
That single incident drops their uptime to four nines. Combine it with other recent incidents and they’re probably at three nines. That’s amateur level.

No it isn’t. Good grief.
