They state it's scheduled maintenance but the dashboard link leads to a 500 return. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
Don't deploy on Friday!
Although I'm sure there are people working at Cloudflare 24/7.
Ya come on, you're gonna interrupt someone's 48 hour goon session!
They were responding to the React.js vulnerability which is a 10/10 severity, sky is falling event so there really was little choice.
This is more likely the actual incident report:
A change made to how Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall parses requests caused Cloudflare's network to be unavailable for several minutes this morning. This was not an attack; the change was deployed by our team to help mitigate the industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components. We will share more information as we have it today.
Edit: If you like reading
They have the world’s internet by the balls, and this weakness has really become apparent lately. This one looks like it may be even worse, as the 500’s are at a higher level. Not even branded custom error pages now.
We need more providers to offer services similar to Cloudflare.
Bunny.net is an example, it's an European company.
Hahaha uh oh!
You're linking to the wrong status page item, the outage was totally unrelated to that maintenance. If you look at cloudflare maintenance history, they do that exact type of maintenance all the time.
The screenshot was before the proper outage was reported and the status was just so people could follow if/when the situation changed
