Details of the Cloudflare outage on July 2, 2019
So in response to a catastrophic failure due to testing in prod, they're going to push out a brand new regex engine with an ETA of 2 weeks. Can anyone say testing in prod?<p>The constant use of 'I' and 'me' (19 occurrences in total) deeply tarnishes this report, and repeatedly singling out a responsible engineer, nameless or not, is a failure in its own right. This was a collective failure, any individual identity is totally irrelevant. We're not looking for an account of your superman-like heroism, sprinting from meeting rooms or otherwise, we want to know whether anything has been learned in the 2 years since Cloudflare leaked heap all across the Internet without noticing, and the answer to that seems fantastically clear.
