I was on a call with an investor and an employee mouthed to me, silently, "everything is down!"
Immediate hot flash.
After I got off the call (thank god he had an appointment to run to), I checked it out. Our internal dashboards were all green so we realized it was a DNS issue pretty quickly.
Since we couldn't get into Cloudflare we searched Twitter and realized it was their issue and I stopped worrying.
One of the benefits of CF and other major internet vendors is that when they're down, you can kind of shrug it off and tell your customers to wait a bit. Not so if you're using a smaller/unknown CDN company.
