Cloudflare Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Michael (@michael_chomsky) reported@albert_ @retrovrv the problem is that being Cloudflare native makes consumer economics feasible but makes BYOC much harder
-
Aevris AI (@aevrisai) reportedLast night our API went down with Railway's outage. Tonight it can't. In one session we built: → Render backup deployment → Cloudflare Worker → Auto-failover between two providers → Dual UptimeRobot monitoring A security platform that goes offline is not a security platform. Fixed. Permanently. #AISecuity #Infrastructure #AEVRIS

Aaz Group (@aazgroup) reportedStopping the bad guys with Cloudflare: 176 malicious requests blocked or challenged in the last month #cloudflare

Robert Foster (@techwhipped) reported@JETIXFILO @ruskritz Also Cloudflare doesn't take down site they only send information over to the hosting provider which it up to the hosting provider to take the the site it mostly likely that site is still online Cloudflare will also be in violation of the new Take Down act also.

Yacine Hmito (@yacinehmito) reported@threepointone I mean it’s the custom import type that gets me. If this had been a function or method from Cloudflare, no problem.

Ammar Alakkad (@AmmarCodes) reportedMy study plan lives in Obsidian as markdown files. I set up @_HermesAgent to send me a daily briefing with today's material, linked directly to the file in Obsidian. Problem: Telegram doesn't support obsidian:// URIs. Solution: A Cloudflare redirect rule to → obsidian://open?vault=obsidian&file=X Now one tap in Telegram opens the right note in Obsidian. ✨

Yash Daftary (@YDaftary) reportedThe last week was brutal for thousands of people due to layoffs. • Meta laid off 8,000 employees ~ 10% of their global workforce • Cloudflare axed 1,100 employees ~ 20% of their headcount • Bolt fired their entire HR department The pattern is concerning and the future is uncertain as companies adopt AI and make their workflows efficient. While layoffs have been a growing trend, the boom in internet businesses cannot be ignored. I say this because I see it happening at @FanBasisInc, we have noticed an increase in new sellers over the past few months. And it's not slowing down, the internet economy is expected to grow to $16.5 trillion by 2028. Every wave of layoffs create the next class of internet entrepreneurs.

Ciprian Popescu (@cipriangb) reported@riadbenguella Yes, it happens with raw/fresh WordPress 7.0. Also, the websites are different, with different plugins and themes. Some have caching plugins, some don't. Some are on Cloudflare, some aren't. It's not the plugins or the themes. 6.9 was okay. 7.0 is slow.

Ahmed Moubtahij (@ahmed_moubtahij) reported@steipete @Cloudflare I can't help but wonder what kind of LLM problems bust the compute that even you have access to. I can't help but wonder if there are efficiency gains on the table that are just not a consideration anymore.
-
Bharat Bharti 🇮🇳 (@Speakin4All) reported@abhijeet_dipke Client hold means the owner of the website has locked the domain name from unauthorised transfer. It's a take down of website by owners. May be they misconfigured Cloudflare on-boarding. This is not a hosting or domain name migration, it's just improving the web security.

Craig D. Mansfield, PhD, EI 👨🔬🥼🥽⚗️🧪🔬☣️☢️🧮 (@craigbob99) reportedCloudflare should kick the ADL off their network.

Hacksore (@Hacksore) reportedNo WAF No gRPC/protobufs No Kubernetes No service mesh No 17 layers of observability (Jaeger + Prometheus + Grafana + OpenTelemetry + whatever new **** dropped this week) No "eventually consistent" 8 microservices with Kafka between them No Cloudflare + 3 CDNs + edge functions No "we use hexagonal architecture" No Terraform for 47 resources No "left shift security" bullshit yeah it's not that complicated

Justalurker (@Justalurke35517) reported@instapundit Cloudflare is blocking me from viewing your site on my laptop. All day now. WTF is going on? Fix it or lose a viewer forever.

The_Daniel (@dan_mwita8) reported@SidJain_80 Implement connection pooling with a strict limit and fail gracefully when you hit it , but the real protection is preventing the thundering herd from reaching your auth service simultaneously. Three layers to add: Rate limiting at the edge. Cloudflare, AWS WAF, or your load balancer should throttle reconnection attempts before they reach your infrastructure. Not blocking but just queuing and spreading them over time. Millions of reconnects compressed into seconds becomes millions spread over a minute. Your auth service goes from drowning to being busy. Client-side exponential backoff with jitter. Every disconnected client shouldn't immediately retry on reconnect. They should wait a random amount of time ,backoff factor multiplied by jitter , before attempting. This naturally spreads the reconnection load across seconds instead of milliseconds. Without jitter, all clients retry simultaneously and you still get the thundering herd. Auth service circuit breaker. When database connection pool hits capacity, stop accepting new requests immediately. Return a 503 Service Unavailable with a Retry-After header instead of queuing connections that will timeout anyway. Clients get a clear signal to back off and retry later. This prevents the cascade where pending requests keep accumulating and consuming resources. The deeper issue is that connection pooling alone doesn't protect you , it just formalizes the limit you'll hit. The protection is architecture that spreads load over time instead of allowing simultaneous reconnects to pile up.

Moneroon (@moneroon) reported@FemiSuccess7 @UK_Daniel_Card @Cloudflare DNS updates seem to be working - although a bit slow
