Or they're not thoroughly testing changes before pushing them out. As I've seen some others say, CloudFlare at this point should be considered critical infrastructure. Maybe not like power but dang close.

My power goes out every Wednesday around noon and normally if the weather is bad. In a major US metro.
I hope cloudflare is far
more
resilient than local power.

Anyone knows why lua? Or is it perhaps as a redis script in lua?
