So both Cloudflare authentication as well as Google's identity systems suffered major dowtime yesterday. Are there technical dependecies between these?
distributed systems break, that’s the whole point
what actually matters is how fast they localize damage and how invisible that feels to the end user
if kv failing takes down auth, ui, and workers, then failure isolation’s missing
recovery is fine, but if your fix needs global coordination to unbreak local flows, that’s a design smell
not saying perfect uptime, but the post-outage ux should feel smoother, not shakier
right now it feels like the system survived but the interface didn’t
proxy seems available in general, must just be local to workers because only one of my sites going thru ZT tunnel with identity access rules is affected
Cloudflare was down

So they depend on GCP for (some of) their services
Word on the street is that there are large BGP routing issues behind all of this.
Currently down, but reference: https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-ddos-that-almost-broke-the-i...
edit:
It works in the US but EU customers are still reporting our services as down.
edit:
EU customers are reporting ok
Their API is down too.
Amazing that something can impact their whole infrastructure like this given how much redundance they have.
