When it happens, it breaks a lot of the internet, but "so many" is stretching it - the entire CF network has only gone down a couple of times in the time I've known about them (~6 years).


They went down at least 4 times last year.

Always noticeable as Discord will go down.


Doesn’t discord use GCP?


They extensively use Cloudflare, other than for voice channels which don't use CF's tcp/udp proxy (to minimize ping, since GCP is usually peered better globally).


Nitpick: Voice/video is run on dedicated hardware from various providers, since GCP networking costs would be obscene for that.


GCP proxied by Cloudflare, yes
