Bob Ross, Lorem Ipsum, Heroku and Cloudflare Workers
On September 9, 2018, an engineer from the Cloudflare Tools team reported that the Bob Ross Ipsum generator was down. The Bob Ross Ipsum is a parody of Lorem Ipsum, which uses phrases from the late artist and TV show host Bob Ross as placeholder text for design layouts. The original website had become unavailable due to high traffic or lack of payment for hosting services. To resolve this issue, a new version was created using Cloudflare Workers, allowing it to be distributed globally across 150+ data centers within minutes and serving content to users within 10ms. The final version of the Bob Ross Lipsum generator is available at https://www.bobrossloremipsum.com.
