Cloudflare has a long blog post summarizing the root cause of the outages today.

It was triggered by a change to a database systems' permissions which caused the database to output multiple entries into a “feature file” used by their Bot Management system. That feature file, in turn, doubled in size.

The software that read this file "panic'd" since the file size was larger than a predefined limit of 200 objects.
