« mukund » (@lotusfracture) reportedMy last systems job, we served 8M requests per day. My senior Eng would never let me use an unwrap() in production. Cloudflare serves over 5x that in ONE SECOND. 40M requests per second!! What kind of ******* undisciplined engineering org are they running?

🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reportedPeople ***** about Go's if err != nil, but then comes Cloudflare with Rust and bring down half of the internet.

Melanie S Reed (@MelanieSReed) reportedAn intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet’s top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform temporarily so that visitors could still access their websites. But security experts...🧵

Goose Michaelmas (@Michagoose) reported@binance Cloudflare goes down, traders go offline, but blockchains keep honking regardless. Funny how decentralization works best when everything else stops working. 🪶 #MichaGoose

X-ray but with an M (@AtavisticEm) reportedI'm clearly not online enough because I didn't notice cloudflare was down until after it was back up
-
octo (@the_octobro) reportedLots of people calling the Cloudflare issue a "bug" or "bad code" but honestly? DDoS protection is sort of Cloudflare's core offering, if a node can't load the data needed for DDoS protection panicking and replacing it is likely the right answer 99% of the time
-
Kaoru 🐈⬛ Amnesiac Cat (@kaorubbish201) reportedCloudflare down again. Captcha not working.
-
@Anu (@anutechie3) reported@MuthaNagavamsi This happened for Amazon CDN as well... Does it mean Cloudflare employees copied Amazon CDN outage and tested in Cloudflare?

Aism India | 📈 #1 Stock Market Information & News (@Aismindiia) reported🚨 The Cloudflare outage on 18 Nov 2025 may have caused brokers to lose about $1.58 billion in trading volumes. This is nearly 1% of their monthly trading revenue and was due to technical errors affecting several websites

River on Tech 🔰 (@RiverOnTech) reported📰 Cloudflare Global Outage: Incident Report Summary Incident Overview A significant global outage impacted the Cloudflare network and its customers on November 18, 2025, causing widespread connectivity and accessibility issues for numerous high-traffic websites and online services worldwide. Root Cause Analysis The incident was definitively attributed to an internal configuration error within Cloudflare’s Bot Management system. * The Specific Error: A bug in the logic responsible for generating configuration files for the Bot Management feature resulted in the creation of a configuration file that was significantly larger than expected. * System Failure: The Cloudflare software component responsible for reading and implementing the Bot Management configuration has a hardcoded size limit for these files. When the oversized file was deployed, the system failed to load it correctly, leading to a cascading failure across a large portion of the network. Impact The outage resulted in severe downtime and reduced performance for a wide range of platforms utilizing Cloudflare services. Key impacted services included, but were not limited to: * Major social media platforms (e.g., X, formerly Twitter) * AI services (e.g., ChatGPT) * Design and productivity tools (e.g., Canva) * Financial services (e.g., PayPal) * Delivery and ride-sharing applications (e.g., Uber Eats) Resolution and Mitigation Cloudflare’s engineering teams successfully mitigated the issue by: * Identifying the oversized configuration file as the source of the failure. * Temporarily halting the deployment of the faulty configuration logic. * Rolling back the configuration to a previously stable and working version. The service was fully restored after the corrupted configuration was removed and replaced, and the company confirmed that the incident was resolved later that day. By @RiverOnTech

Saad Saleem (@saadsaleem187) reportedThe Cloudflare outage wasn’t a Rust failure. It was a logic/ops issue upstream that hit an unhandled error path. Any language would fail if the code unwraps unexpected data. #cloudfare #outage #rust

WahooPredict News (@wahoo_tech) reportedNot a cyberattack—one bad file. A system change filled Cloudflare's 'feature file' with extra entries, doubling its size. Pushed to every machine, it hit a size limit; software failed—knocking ChatGPT, X and others offline for ~6 hours. CEO: “Unacceptable.”
-
Jagadeesh (@0jagadeesh0) reportedCloudflare went down because of an issue in their Bot Management System (BMS). Request flow: Client → Cloudflare → Actual service (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). Cloudflare has modules that inspect every request to block bots and DDoS attacks.

Nashon (@WEGNERJOASH) reported@KCBInKenya your systems were affected by the cloudflare outage yet you didnt even inform your clients about system downtime, many other banks did. Do you even have a proper system monitoring. NCBA does a very good job at such communication.

Lava Network 🌋 (@lavanetxyz) reportedYesterday's @Cloudflare outage was a reminder: relying on a single centralized giant for data access can black out the internet. Anytime. Decentralized data access isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the only path to real reliability. This is exactly what Lava Network is built for.

OFFICIAL GAMINGFFC 🚜▶️ (@gffcontwitch) reported@Cloudflare why oh why oh why, are you so bad? Why do you go down so much?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@HassanHammoud18 There was a global outage on X yesterday (Nov 18) due to issues with Cloudflare, affecting video playback and other features for many users. It should be resolved now—try restarting your app or clearing cache. If it persists, check your internet or device settings. Let me know if that helps!

bugtank (@h0h0h0) reportedCompany CTO is convinced to never use cloudflare after the last few months.

Chirag S kotian (@Chirag_S_kotian) reported@geoffkeighley ugh i couldn't even log in for an hour yesterday 😩 it's not "passion," it's just the website not handling the massive traffic—tons of people were rate-limited or got Cloudflare errors. is this really the year to break the site?

Vjt | MemeMax⚡️ (@vjtonway) reported@Pentaeth_ @immunefi Wow, that Cloudflare outage sounds rough for token sales.
