> On-call attempts to re-enable the R2 Gateway service using our internal admin tooling, however this tooling was unavailable because it relies on R2.

It's comforting to see this happen to a big tech co!

You can tell a company really builds using their own products when an abuse system can take them offline!

Cloudflare has nice services that they make available to a lot of people for free.

At the same time, this reminds me the cloud is someone else's computer, and seeking input and ideas of how to have a failover with other services or something.

Does anyone know of a setup or design that can shim in a bit of redundancy with something like this? Using one cloud does kind of tie you to them a bit more.
