Wishing Cloudflare ops teams the best to recover fast from this outage. Meanwhile, we urge customers to check out www.cdnreserve.com , and implement a sound CDN backup strategy (auto-failover) when the primary CDN suffers an outage.

Never market during another companies outage, offer help instead. Tomorrow it will be you.

I absolutely agree and very respectfully so. No one is immune to outages. Well said. CDNReserve is designed in a way, that if the outage occurs on one platform it will map the traffic to failover CDN and if the failover/backup CDN suffers an outage, the traffic will be shifted to the primary CDN using CDNReserve. Its built on the premise that the likelihood of two CDNs having outage at the same time is close to ZERO.

The likelihood of CDNReserve having an outage on the other hand is 100%.

You aren't the first to come up with the idea of a CDN traffic director (I built one), and you'll soon discover customers recognize you are just another single point of failure and not the solution. Best to focus on the things other companies in the space market on, bill optimization, latency optimization, etc.

Agreed. The likelihood of any platform having an outage is 100%. But the likelihood of two networks having the outage at the same time is close to zero. It's awesome that you built a similar solution in the past. It would be great to jump on a call and learn from your experience if you are open to it.
