They don't name names but it's probably due to the ongoing Cloudflare explosion. I know the DigitalOcean Spaces CDN is just Cloudflare under the hood.

Just spaces CDN, not spaces - you'd think they'd just turn the CDN off for a bit.
potato3732842•17m ago
You can't just "turn off CDN" on the modern internet. You'd instantly DDOS your customers' origins. They're not provisioned to handle it, and even if they were the size of the pipe going to them isn't. The modern internet is built around the expectation that everything is distributed via CDN. Some more "traditional" websites would probably be fine.

Yes all sites showing the CloudFlare error due to the massive outage. Seems their outages are getting more frequent and taking down the internet in new ways each time.

I have two projects on DO using droplets and they are still running fine.
hshdhdhj4444•43m ago
It seems mostly a CludFlare related issue.

My DOs are working fine as well.

Droplets are fine.

> This incident affects: API, App Platform (Global), Load Balancers (Global), and Spaces (Global).

So yesterday Azure got hit hard, today CF and DO are down, bad week or something else?
showerst•13m ago
I use DO's load balancers in a couple of projects, and they don't list Cloudflare as an upstream dependency anywhere that I've seen. It's so frustrating to think you're clear of a service then find out that you're actually in their blast radius too through no fault of your own.
