Yeah, I don't quite understand the people cutting Cloudflare massive slack. It's not about nailing blame on a single person or a team, it's about keeping a company that is THE closest thing to a public utility for the web accountable. They more or less did a Press Release with a call to action to buy or use their services at the end and everybody is going "Yep, that's totally fine. Who hasn't sent a bug to prod, amirite?".

It goes over my head why Cloudflare is HN's darling while others like Google, Microsoft and AWS don't usually enjoy the same treatment.

Do the others you mentioned provide such detailed outage reports, within 24 hours of an incident? I’ve never seen others share the actual code that related to the incident.

Or the CEO or CTO replying to comments here?

>Press Release

This is not press release, they always did these outage posts from the start of the company.

Azure (albeit pretty old): https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devopsservice/?p=17665

AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/

GCP: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1S...

The code sample might as well be COBOL for people not familiar with Rust and its error handling semantics.

I've looked around the thread and I haven't seen the CTO here nor the CEO, probably I'm not familiar with their usernames and that's on me.

My mistake calling them press releases. Newspapers and online publications also skim this outage report to inform their news stories.

I wasn't clear enough on my previous comment. I'd like all major players in the internet and web infrastructure to be held to higher standards. As it stands when it comes to them or the tech department of a retail store the retail store must answer to more laws when surface area of combined activities is took into account.

Yes, Cloudflare excels where others don't or barely bother and I too enjoyed the pretty graphs, diagrams and I've learned some nifty Rust tricks.

EDIT: I've removed some unwarranted snark from my comment which I apologize for.
