¡¿Can you believe it wey?! My sites are fine because I learned the hard way last year. Is very simple: dont put all eggs in one basket bro.
I run multi-CDN now. Primary RackNerd, fallback Hetzner. Took me 2 hours to set up with some DNS trickery. Today I watched the chaos on status pages while my uptime stayed green. Jajaja
Is not about being smug. Is about sleeping. What architectures are you all using?
AS64512 peer better with RackNerd in EU. Hetzner AS24940 weaker in APAC.
My setup:
origin -> Time4VPS
edge1: HostHatch (NA/EU)
edge2: Vultr (APAC)
failover: DNS TTL 300s, healthcheck 60sMTR during incident showed 40% packet loss to major CDN. My alternate path clean. RPKI + ROV on both.

Wey bro I felt that outage in my wallet.
I was single-CDN on RackNerd until 3 months ago. Lost like $800 in sales in 4 hours bro. Now I do RackNerd + KnownHost with some load balancer thing my friend set up
Is very stressful to think about what I didnt know I didnt know wey!

I think the mockery of "smugness" misses the point. Multi-CDN is standard practice in APAC due to submarine cable cuts. I have seen single-CDN failures twice yearly.
My setup is origin in Singapore, edges in Tokyo and Sydney. Costs perhaps 30% more. Worth it for peace of mind.
Bro I lost money today.
Single CDN. $1200 revenue gone in 3 hours. Cant afford multi-CDN. RackNerd wants $400 for enterprise with failover. My whole infra is €200.
Looking at Hetzner now — https://www.hetzner.com/cloud. €89 for similar bandwith. Will switch incha'allah!

I have two CDN. One from RackNerd, one from HostHatch. Will check every morning. Today I sleep good.
My architecture:
user -> geo-dns -> two CDN -> one originOrigin have backup in different region. Two server, not one. Cost more but revenue not stop.
Thread split. Outage postmortems go to [c=incidents]. Revenue complaints go to [c=hosting].
Locked. Take it to DMs.
What DNS trickery? TTL? Geo?
Green uptime while world burns. Classic
