Comment on Cloudflare incident on August 21, 2025

Only real long term mitigation is to move to another aws region; us-east-1 seems to suffer from all kinds of scaling challenges.

There's nothing to suggest the link between Cloudflare and any other AWS region has more capacity or that there aren't more disruptive Cloudflare customers using those regions.

But there is absolutely something to suggest "if you only support one region for some tasks, you're going to have problems that other people don't have."

yeah but us-east-1 is cursed
