I meant "brick" as distinct from "break", in the sense that their apparent circular dependencies could result in an unrecoverable failure scenario. Purely speculation of course, it's probably not a real risk.
That being said, it's a scary thought because they are different from other SaaS in that the run a significant portion of the internet.
- pixl97 3y agoI mean near brick situations happen with DNS/VM/Auth situations quite often. It's not hard to imagine where some dumbass creates a system that also contains its own decryption keys in some system and it "will be fine because all auth systems will never be down".
- starttoaster 3y agoThere were no apparent circular dependencies. Services that Cloudflare offer depend on their KV store service. A KV store (or key-value store) is a type of database. If you have an application that depends on a database, that's a one-way dependency, not a circular one.
