Got too much 500 on dozen of services now.

    This should be resolved. We’re still investigating the underlying root cause, and intend to share a write-up once we have that in hand.

    This is not the way we wanted anyone to start their week.

    (I am the PM lead for Cloudflare Workers: Databases & Storage)

    3:55 PM Eastern: Our entire website hosted on cloudflare pages is returning 500. I also cannot login to the dashboard either (it just spins)

    EDIT 4:10 PM Eastern: Now I can login to the dashboard but "Workers and Pages" menu is returning errors and no access. Website still down :(

    EDIT at 4:23 PM Eastern: RESOLVED. Website (cloudflare pages) is back up now for me.

    Looks like they took about 25 mins to resolve.

    And just 30 minutes ago we were about to flip the switch on a months long migration to Cloudflare Pages for our new website, I guess some things weren't meant to be :')

    For any terraform users that may be using code like this:

    data "cloudflare_ip_ranges" "cloudflare_ipv4_list" {}

    This is coming back with an empty list on some fields and causing havoc in terraform.

    Anyone remember big iron and servers with uptimes of 5 or 7 nines?

    I mean: it used to be a thing. Now we have the cloud.

    Auth0 seems to be down as well

  • by j-rom on 10/30/23, 8:12 PM

    Complete Pages outage for me. I have several sites hosted on Cloudflare Pages and I can't access any of them, they're all returning 500's.

    Fun day to release a blog post[0] about cloudflare page functions, on a site hosted on cloudflare pages.

  • by tootie on 10/30/23, 8:06 PM

    Apparently Auth0 as well. Possibly related.

  • by c22 on 10/30/23, 8:18 PM

    It's probably bad that I noticed this just due to a large percentage of my regular online-habits suddenly breaking. I liked the old internet where websites just broke one at a time.

    This is preventing new logins to ChatGPT.

    I can't login to my domain dashboard either. Maybe that is a downstream effect of workers being offline?

  • by dogweather on 10/30/23, 8:12 PM

    Yes — Workaround is to disable your workers. That got my site back up and running.

    EDIT 15:07 MDT: People are reporting that Workers are back up. Mine isn't in my site's critical path. So I'm going to leave the Worker disabled (un-routed) until tonight.

  • by gsanderson on 10/30/23, 8:21 PM

    My sites have started coming back up now. Their site has also just started working again (previously got a 500): https://pages.cloudflare.com/

    I won't be the first or last to say these three things:

    The internet was meant to stop reliance on single sources (in case of nuclear war)

    The size of a house of cards increases the number of failure points

    Marketers lie

  • by CommonGuy on 10/30/23, 8:02 PM

    Cloudflare Pages aren't working on a few of my sites too

  • by mparnisari on 10/30/23, 8:58 PM

    It is funny that just a few days ago the company that laughed at Okta for a breach and whose core competency is availability are now experiencing an outage.

  • by gkfasdfasdf on 10/30/23, 9:05 PM

    Ongoing DDoS attacks are targeting sites that raise funds for Gaza relief efforts: https://twitter.com/arblauvelt/status/1719027920054702363

    I wonder if there's a connection.

  • by ironmagma on 10/30/23, 8:37 PM

    That's sad, hopefully something comes along that can brighten their day.

  • by TheCleric on 10/30/23, 8:41 PM

    Wonder if this is related to the mini NPM outage I was experiencing earlier:

  • by Animats on 10/30/23, 8:05 PM

    All of them, or just those in some data centers?

  • by AxiomaticSpace on 10/30/23, 8:27 PM

    Looks like it's working now as of 1:23 PST

  • by ChrisArchitect on 10/30/23, 8:05 PM

    Damn yeah, noticing for last few mins+

  • by winseybash on 10/30/23, 8:24 PM

    Looks to be back up now for my sites

  • by johnmaguire on 10/30/23, 8:03 PM

    Yes, down since about 3:55 ET.

  • by tomschlick on 10/30/23, 8:22 PM

    Back up for me as of 16:20 ET

  • by darknavi on 10/30/23, 8:37 PM

    npmjs is also in a bad spot:
