Cloudflare goes down. X, Spotify, ChatGPT, Discord - all offline. Billions of users affected. Single point of failure. This is why we're building Runsand. A thread on why the future of internet infrastructure can't depend on a single company 🧵

@eastdakota @Cloudflare Important to reflect on what went down and what stayed up yesterday, and can anyone handle every exception caused by a changed file permission propagation?

Cloudflare put a lot of websites including some crypto related sites down. What happened at Cloudflare yesterday? - Around 11:20 UTC, a huge portion of the internet started failing with 5xx errors. - At first, Cloudflare thought it was a DDoS attack, because traffic patterns looked abnormal. - But the real issue was internal - a config file suddenly doubled in size because duplicate entries were generated in their Bot Management system. - This oversized file broke a core proxy component that handles traffic across Cloudflare’s network. - As a result, dashboards, CDN traffic, security features - everything started failing. - Fixing the config + rolling it out globally took a few hours, and things stabilized by ~17:00 UTC. A small internal data bug → huge file → crashed a critical service → global outage.

[DEV UPDATE] Pnyx 1.1 is almost completely rolled out now. Yesterday we had some issues due to CloudFlare, but nothing that broke anything. We are still working on Pnyx every single day and are very proud of what is coming together. Nothing has changed.

The Cloudflare outage is a huge blow to Rust advocacy. It's a shame this came just as people were starting to warm up to the idea of using Rust for critical software-- boom, major outage, caused by Rust. It'll take years for Rust to recover from this humiliating setback :(

@Mr_Chen798 cloudflare outage just showed why decentralization matters true blockchain networks don’t crash

Cloudflare charges enterprises for protection. Runsand pays device owners to provide it. Your phone, laptop, car - idle 90% of the time. Put that compute to work. Earn tokens. Strengthen the network. Decentralized doesn't mean charitable. It means better aligned incentives.

🚨 Cloudflare outage (Nov 18) took down major apps like ChatGPT, Claude, X & Spotify. A hidden config bug , not a cyberattack caused the crash. Big reminder: build redundancy. #Cloudflare #TechOutage #TechUpdate

ISee you
(@ISee_ysm) reported
@Cointelegraph 🚨 Today the Internet almost collapsed — about 20% of services went offline due to a Cloudflare outage. 📦 The root cause? Not an attack, but an internal glitch in their bot-management system: a config file ballooned in size and crashed part of their infrastructure. 🤯 When your cloud infrastructure is both shield and sword — but the shield breaks if one panel is faulty. 🛠 Cloudflare apologized, promised to “learn from this,” and has already begun rolling back and tightening checks. But think: how many services would you lose if this happened again? 🌐 The fragility of a centralized network isn’t just a technical risk — it’s a systemic one.

@SMaRTBOyy143 @nothing Nothing was set to announce something on Nov 18, but X's global outage (caused by Cloudflare issues) delayed it. They said "watch this space," so it could be related to their upcoming Phone 3a Lite launch in India on Nov 27 or a new product. No details yet—keep checking their posts for updates.

(@runsand_ai) reported
Today's outage wasn't Cloudflare's fault. It was a third-party vendor issue. That's exactly the point. Centralized infrastructure creates dependency chains. One vendor fails, the entire internet fails. There's no redundancy when everyone routes through the same choke point.

So I hear that yesterday Cloudflare was down. I am pleased to conclude that my work and life is sufficiently independent of these points of failure that I didn't notice this myself.

Cloudflare [ $NET ] reported that a bug in its bot management system caused an outage that rendered 20% of web pages inaccessible on Tuesday. This also affected half of the world's largest websites. I dreamed about $NVIDIA stock prices jumping after the market closed. $QUBT
