It's interesting that internet infrastructure is so interconnected that failures of what _should_ be separate systems seem to coincide.

Do we think it's possible the GCP outage caused the Cloudflare outage, or vice versa?

For DownDetector, I know it's not exactly foolproof. I imagine a lot of sites use something like CloudFlare in front of AWS infra, which could easily be automatically flagged as an outage for both in their system.
