On: Turns out half the internet has a single-point-of-failure called “Cloudflare”

> an increase in major Cloudflare customers and presumably, revenue. Even ISPs like T-Mobile faced issues due to the Cloudflare outage!

Careful about this methodology. Some services at my org were impacted despite not being direct CloudFlare customers. They had external dependencies that used CloudFlare.

So it's much bigger proverbial 'blast-radius' lest something happen to CloudFlare? Can you elaborate a bit on that part? I'm interested in knowing more.

Simple case of dependencies failing. Not much to elaborate.

e.g. NPM.js uses CloudFlare DNS, so services which needed to talk to NPM.js weren't able to do so.
