I've done something similar, it's worth noting Scaleway in the same space, for people looking for an AWS replacement more like managed services (equivalents to fargate/lambda/sqs/s3/etc) instead of just bare instance hosting.
+1 for Scaleway. I also use Hetzner for most of my compute. But some stuff just really profits from using managed services. I‘ve used Scaleway‘s Serverless compute offers and managed DBs an been quite happy with them.
Thank you for your service! Now, for an even bigger challenge: since it seems the increased demand for the Cloudflare status page brought down Amazon CloudFront for a bit as well, build a new CDN capable of handling that load as well...
I feel like the classic East Dakota reply would be that cloud flare CDN does not host your data and merely proxies it (bonus points if he uses the words "mere conduit" in his reply and therefore cloud flare can't be held responsible yada yada).
As a European solo developer, I’ve switched entirely to European alternatives for all my infrastructure since the beginning of the year.
Cloudflare > Bunny.net
AWS > Hetzner
Business email > Infomaniak
Not a single client site has experienced downtime, and it feels great to finally decouple from U.S. services.

Ah yes, the place for RabbitMQ endpoints.
Yeah we had a good laugh when Downdetector was down during the Cloudflare outage yesterday. So this is appropriate. +1
But we need another one to detect whether yours is still up.
It's downdetectorsdown all the way down.

Given enough of them, some fraction will always be down. It would be helpful if we had a site that could track that ratio.
here's a page that monitors that page: https://onlineornot.com/website-down-checker?requestId=jCfaD...
Looks like it's hosted in London?
Downdetection can be thought of as a directed graph, or digraph*.
From there, the "who's watching who?" can become mathematically interesting.

quid custodiet ipso custodes, amirite?
Sup dawg, I heard you like down detectors.

Do you need a CDN for a static html, no images? I would guess no, even if you.are being bombarded with requests
I would guess yes, unless you have a server with unlimited file descriptors and flawless connectivity to every other AS...
Is it hosted on Cloudflare?

Jokes aside, as far as I can tell, https://downdetectorsdowndetector.com/ is NOT using Cloudflare CDN/Proxy
https://downdetectorsdowndetector.com/ is NOT using Cloudflare SSL
However, selesti reports it uses cloudflare DNS?
https://checkforcloudflare.selesti.com/?q=https://downdetect...
https://downdetectorsdowndetector.com/ is using Cloudflare DNS!
Checked 8 global locations, found DNS entries for Cloudflare in 3
Found in: England, Russia, USA
Not found in: China, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Netherlands
and i still can't find any feathers
Nice! Who doesn’t like a good recursion? Fingers crossed that the down detector for down detector won’t be down, when down detector might be down
Use the original down detector to monitor the down detector for down detector for down detector. Complete the circle!
isisitdowndown.com is still free
“Well, who’s gonna monitor the monitors of the monitors?”
Ah, now we know that the answer to "who watches the watchers?" is "@gusowen". :D
Would it be a good idea to have a second instance of this watching the first one? /s
