THE CLOUDFLARE COLLAPSE BY NUMBERS:

OUTAGE SEVERITY:

- Global scope across ALL timezones

- 11,000+ reports in USA (first hour)

- 3,800+ reports in UK (first hour)  

- Multiple critical services failed simultaneously

ERROR TYPES REPORTED:

- HTTP 500 (Internal Server Error) - MOST COMMON

- HTTP 502 (Bad Gateway)

- HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable)

- Turnstile CAPTCHA verification FAILED

- Dashboard inaccessible

- API completely offline

SERVICES DOWN:

- X (Twitter) - Posts won't load

- ChatGPT - API blocked globally

- PayPal - Transactions failing

- Uber Eats - Order system down

- League of Legends - Can't play

- Canva - Can't design

- Downdetector - Can't even report outages

- 1000s of websites showing 500 error pages

THE SCARY PART:

Internet dependency on Cloudflare:

One company

Multiple failure points

Zero geographic isolation

Cascade effect to dependent services

This wasn't a small incident.

This was a SYSTEMIC FAILURE that exposed how fragile internet infrastructure is.

When will we decentralize?
