Cloudflare’s recent outage shows how vulnerable centralized CDNs are to outages. Wouldn’t it be better if there were redundancies so you could work unabated? We think the answer is a strong “Yes,” which is why we’re so dedicated to bringing more nodes online with the Pipe Network.
This week's Cloudflare meltdown took down X, ChatGPT, and more. A total domino effect. With the Pipe Network's P1 routing layer, traffic would've been rerouted automatically in milliseconds, and you would have been able to keep working
The irony of Downdetector going down during the Cloudflare outage is thick. If they were on the Pipe Network, our P1 routing layers would have seamlessly rerouted every internet request. The problem wouldn't have just been solved; it would have been invisible to users.
Cloudflare cited a 'spike in unusual traffic' which contributed to its recent massive outage. The Pipe Network's P1 routing eats these traffic spikes for breakfast, and would have prevented the bottlenecks that caused today's chaos.
Let's be blunt: the outage was preventable. The Pipe Network's P1 routing layer is designed specifically to neutralize the very failures that crippled a huge chunk of the internet. It's time to stop patching a broken model and start building a resilient one.
