This is not looking good. I really hope they don't move away from dogfooding because of this.

Also vercel deployments (and edge functions in general) aren't working. Their status page says: "We identified the root cause as an issue with one of our upstream providers and working with them towards mitigation."

I wonder if edge functions use workers under the hood lol.

I'm pretty sure edge functions are just workers with an little extra code for metrics and stuff.

Updated on the CF side:

> Cloudflare is assessing a loss of power impacting data centres while simultaneously failing over services.

Someone else in the thread shared this thread [0] which is about Flexential PDX02 losing power at the same time.

> Looks like they lost utility, switched to generator, and then generator failed (not clear on scope of Gen failure yet). Some utility power is back, so recovery is in progress for some portion of the site.

Sounds like the entire DC went down and their failover didn't handle it as gracefully as it should have.

I don't know if I should be proud or scared that a lot of these products are just wrappers around Cloudflare offerings.

In this case I don't think its a wrapper, DOs App Platform is a bit too sophisticated to be on workers. I'm guessing a bunch of key workloads using workers.
