Yep, dead.
They sent emails out and their own staff have confirmed it on social media posts.

CDN was known. Is the rest of the business also shut shop?

Stackwho?
StackPath
Mind blown. How did you know that??
What did people use stackpath for? Is path really going down or is it just rumors?
Bunny CDN used them until a few days ago for part of their DNS network.
what are they using now?
They replaced them with Vultr, a common choice for those who need anycast.
That sounds bad. 9 gbit in any single location and vultr will null route.
Vultr suspends instances once they sustain ~110% of their port speed. That speed is 10Gbit for regular VMs, and up to 2x 25G for bare metal.
BGP customers can balance traffic over up to 8 instances per location via ECMP, effectively taking ingress/egress to 80Gbit per location on even the cheap VM series.
Nope this is incorrect. I tried that.
Also $725/month for 25 gbits and no ddos protection? You might as well go with datapacket.
This is only for DNS and in addition to their usual pops.
VUltr's ECMP balancing is very much possible and working in practice here for the last 3+ years. Not sure what happened when you tried it.
I assume you're referring to Vultr bare metal, which by the way does benefit from DDoS mitigation by default, but it is pretty poor at 10Gbit/s and does not cover BGP advertisements. There are better offers elsewhere at this price range for sure.

You didn't get an attack that was big enough then. I've watched my inbound get up to 9 gbits and even with ecmp with 2-3 servers I still got nulled. I also opened a ticket and they confirmed the attack was far below 20 gbits.
Also their 10 gbit "ddos protection" is probably the worst in the industry. It doesn't even stop basic things like dns floods. And as you said, no BGP.
I'd rather it's StackOverflow, the largest collection of wrong coding solutions on the www.
What did folks actually use StackPath for?
We had a few clients using them for a few things and it was trash to be honest from what we seen.
mostly stackpath for CDN,
then later for storage.
some used for vps/servers
