I'm a huge fan of Cloudflare in general, but sometimes I'm a bit uncomfortable with how much critical infrastructure is increasingly consolidated into a few single entities.

Couldn't agree more. They offer an amazing service for free; however, we shouldn't forget that they control millions of websites at a DNS level. That's a lot of power, and a lot of responsibility. If there was an internal breach at CloudFlare, a sizeable chunk of the modern web would be in danger.

As we've seen, if Google, Amazon, or other big names go down or lose routing, things break fast.

Same here. Though I find it almost equally commendable how much effort they put into applying their infrastructure know-how into making IPFS, Ethereum etc. accessible lately, and with that help pave a way for a more decentralized internet again.
