[-] As a European solo developer, I’ve switched entirely to European alternatives for all my infrastructure since the beginning of the year.
Cloudflare > Bunny.net
AWS > Hetzner
Business email > Infomaniak
Not a single client site has experienced downtime, and it feels great to finally decouple from U.S. services.

[-] I've done something similar, it's worth noting Scaleway in the same space, for people looking for an AWS replacement more like managed services (equivalents to fargate/lambda/sqs/s3/etc) instead of just bare instance hosting.

Ah yes, the place for RabbitMQ endpoints.

[-] Yeah we had a good laugh when Downdetector was down during the Cloudflare outage yesterday. So this is appropriate. +1
But we need another one to detect whether yours is still up.
It's downdetectorsdown all the way down.
Sup dawg, I heard you like down detectors.

[-] Thank you for your service! Now, for an even bigger challenge: since it seems the increased demand for the Cloudflare status page brought down Amazon CloudFront for a bit as well, build a new CDN capable of handling that load as well...

[-] Do you need a CDN for a static html, no images? I would guess no, even if you.are being bombarded with requests
Is it hosted on Cloudflare?

[-] Nice! Who doesn’t like a good recursion? Fingers crossed that the down detector for down detector won’t be down, when down detector might be down
Use the original down detector to monitor the down detector for down detector for down detector. Complete the circle!

[-] Ah, now we know that the answer to "who watches the watchers?" is "@gusowen". :D
Would it be a good idea to have a second instance of this watching the first one? /s
