A short an less technical post about how we handled the Cloudflare outage with the use of infrastructure as code even when the Cloudflare dashboard (UI) was down.

Been handling all the infrastructure for a company from Luxembourg, all by myself. Including the CI/CD, patching, hardening, maintenance, disaster recovery plans and incident management.

I am looking for something new and different. I am willing to take a step back, and get my hands again on software development, or technical sales, customer support, or even developer advocate. Take into consideration I will be learning and improvising/adapting. I learn fast! The reason I am considering something different is to learn about different business models and key business aspects to see how I can improve it with automation and AI.

Full time or part time, with preference on full time. I have experience as a Contractor too.

If you need someone for infrastructure, I am battle tested in this regard and eager to take on a new challenge. Be it for cost reduction, scaling, building from zero. You name it.

Awesome! I did it via the Terraform provider, but for anyone else without access to the dashboard this is great. Thank you!

Cloudflare Dashboard/Clicky clicky UI is down. I really appreciate that their API is still working. Small change in our Terraform configuration and now I can go lunch in peace knowing our clients at skeeled can keep working if wanted:

resource "cloudflare_dns_record"

- proxied = true

+ proxied = false

In terms of probability looking at the history, it is correct. It's mostly me messing up with the web server.

That is really good to be honest!

I have Cloudflare running in production and it is affecting us right now. But at least I know what is going on and how I can mitigate (e.g. disable Cloudflare as a proxy if it keeps affecting our services at skeeled).

I have been sharing house with a roommate for years now (in Portugal), and I prefer it to living alone. Even with a girlfriend, I highly prefer to live in a house with more people.

I come from a "big" family, and I am used to movement where I live. And living alone or just with one person, makes my energy go down.

Now that I plan on moving to Paraguay, I am looking for co-living options or someone to rent place with. Different people have different preferred ways of living.

For me, it's cheaper, and I am happier, when I share place with other people. Also, you get to learn from others, have people to talk with, at the expense of a bit of privacy. But depending on the roommates you choose the privacy thing is usually not an issue.

I use it for many side projects, and I am starting to use it for bigger ones too.

Should we submit personal projects and smaller side projects, or is this for fully fledged app only?

Also, should we add know open source applications such as Plausible[1]?

I am always happy to see Elixir and Erlang hit the front page.
