I got quoted in The Guardian again, I guess CloudFlare must have been down or something? :blobcatcoffee:
> “These companies have become too big to not fail. And because they handle so much traffic, when they do fail, this immediately becomes a massive problem”
@rysiek I agree with the conclusion of the article though:
“When AWS went down, their share price went up, because people realised how many people are using them. In some ways [the outage] is great marketing, because you see how many people are using Cloudflare.”
My 2c is that this was GREAT publicity. CloudFlare were working hard to protect people against an active security threat. Minor outage, handled quickly, demonstrating the tricky important work they do... shut up and take my money!
@rysiek
