After the release got reverted, it took an 1hr28min for the deployment to propagate. You'd think that would be a very long time for CloudFlare infrastructure.

We should probably all be glad that CloudFlare doesn't have the ability to update its entire global fleet any faster than 1h 28m, even if it’s a rollback operation.

Any change to a global service like that, even a rollback (or data deployment or config change), should be released to a subset of the fleet first, monitored, and then rolled out progressively.

Given the seriousness of outages they make with instant worldwide deploys, I’m glad they took it calmly.

They had to update all the down detectors first.
