this time in lua. cloudflare can't catch a break

Or they're not thoroughly testing changes before pushing them out. As I've seen some others say, CloudFlare at this point should be considered critical infrastructure. Maybe not like power but dang close.
My power goes out every Wednesday around noon and normally if the weather is bad. In a major US metro.

I hope cloudflare is far more resilient than local power.

The 'rewrite it in lua' crowd are oddly silent now.
How do you know?
Anyone knows why lua? Or is it perhaps as a redis script in lua?
Figured it, its prob a nginx lua module
Time to use boring languages such as Java and Go.
