Omg. What timing. I feel your pain. We recently migrated to Cloudflare Pages and I was happy at the speed and everything and now this :(. Never had a downtime when I self hosted on my DigitalOcean droplet. damn. Re-considering going back to old school nginx static site hosting.

Yep our current marketing site is NextJS hosted on Hetzner fronted by Cloudflare, fortunately that's still up and never has any problems.
We've moved to next-on-pages for our new marketing site and I've spent the whole day on finishing touches ready for switch over at 20:00 UTC, and now this :((
Heck even shared hosting for $3/mo works just fine
Not sure why you're being downvoted
Well then you haven't used DO that long, I get regular emails about X or Y server needing to go down for maint.

I've used Digital Ocean (and many other hosting providers) for as long as most of them have existed. Most of my servers have been running nearly uninterrupted for many years. Yes, there will be a reboot or move every so often but the uptime is incredibly high.
The idea that single server is capable beat the reliability of a massively distributed system is counter-intuitive and yet usually it's the case.
The average distributed system is a house of cards that can come tumbling down. The average static server is a rock of stability with very few failure modes.

Those might have had downtime, but never reported
