About this listen

When Cloudflare one of the most important infrastructure providers on the internet went down, the ripple effects were immediate. Payment systems stalled, websites vanished, apps froze, and millions of users around the world were left wondering how something so big could fail so suddenly. In today’s episode, we unpack what happened, why services rely so heavily on Cloudflare, and what this outage reveals about the fragility of the modern internet.


In the second half, we explore public reaction, expert commentary, and the broader concerns around digital dependency, cybersecurity, and single points of failure.
