Seems cloudflare took out a good chunk of the internet temporarily.

Doesn’t HN use cloudflare? Why did it survive? (I haven’t looked for about a year, but I seem to remember HN being proxied behind CF at one point.)





How do you deal with DDoS attacks?


It doesn't look like it does. HN's IP space belongs to "M5 Computer Security", and their DNS nameservers are on "awsdns". Nothing there to suggest CF.


Is there a status page for HN?


Yeah, it's whether news.ycombinator.com loads :P


EDIT: Yes: https://twitter.com/HNStatus

HN is so reliable that’s it’s almost never needed one. I’m extremely curious how HN survived this; almost positive they used cloudflare at one point.

I think the official status page is @hnstatus on Twitter, or something like that.


They did use Cloudflare, but also haven’t for some time.


HN is reliable until AWS Route53 goes down :).


HN allegedly still runs on one machine running a single-threaded Lisp webserver.



Parts of the site that are behind CF like the API are down.
