Incident Response When the Outage Isn't Yours

Aug 1, 2026 By Falit Jain In Pagerly
Most of the outages that will page your team this quarter did not start in your code. They started in the physical world: a storm, a severed fiber cable, a data center losing power, or a government flipping a national switch. That is the uncomfortable takeaway from Cloudflare's Q2 2026 Internet Disruption Summary, published on July 29, and it has real consequences for how on-call teams practice incident response.

Incident Response Lessons From a 3 GW Grid Drop

Aug 1, 2026 By Falit Jain In Pagerly
When a transmission line faulted in Ashburn, Virginia on July 22, 2026, more than 3 GW of data center load vanished from the PJM grid in seconds. That is roughly three percent of total grid demand at the moment it happened, and the grid took about ten minutes to stabilize instead of the milliseconds a routine disturbance normally requires. For anyone who owns a pager, this is more than an energy story.

Flamegraphs Find It. Replay Proves It.

Jul 31, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
I made an API endpoint 13 times faster. Then I realized my first verification only checked the status, headers, and response schema. I had not checked the totals. I had made the bug faster. That is the problem with giving an AI coding agent one kind of evidence. A CPU profile can show where the application is slow, but not whether an optimization preserves behavior. A traffic replay can prove that behavior stayed stable, but not explain why the code burns CPU.

Jul 31, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator

That’s why we’ve added a new Dependencies tab for Website, Ping, and Custom monitors, making it easy to document the services your infrastructure relies on and quickly reference them during an incident.
