🌐 When the web goes dark: AWS, GCP & Cloudflare outages show our fragility… and why LayerOps matters.
On June 12, a ripple effect caused by Cloudflare’s authentication issues triggered massive outages across Google Cloud, AWS, Discord, Spotify, and more. Google’s IAM meltdown affected dozens of essential services like Gmail, Drive, YouTube, and Spotify .
🕒 These disruptions lasted hours, with users unable to access work tools, streaming platforms, or even daily web apps.
🔍 What does this teach us?
- Centralized dependency: Even if your app isn't hosted by AWS or GCP, if it relies on them indirectly, you're still at risk.
- Vendor fragility: A single cloud provider going down cascades across the entire internet.
🚀 Enter LayerOps
