After reading about cloudflare infra in post mortems it has always been surprising how immature their stack is. Like they used to run their entire global control plane in a single failure domain.

Im not sure who is running the show there, but the whole thing seems kinda shoddy given cloudflares position as the backbone of a large portion of the internet.

I personally work at a place with less market cap than cloudflare and we were hit by the exact same instances (datacenter power went out) and had almost no downtime, whereas the entire cloudflare api was down for nearly a day.
