Latest Cloudflare status update basically confirms that there is a dependency to GCP in their systems:

"Cloudflare’s critical Workers KV service went offline due to an outage of a 3rd party service that is a key dependency. As a result, certain Cloudflare products that rely on KV service to store and disseminate information are unavailable"

They lightly mentioned it in this interview a few weeks ago as well - I was surprised! https://youtu.be/C5-741uQPVU?t=1726s

Yeah I saw that now too. Interesting, I'm definitely a little surprised that they have this big of an external dependency surface.

Definitely very surprised to see, that so much of the CF products that are there to compete with the big cloud providers have such a dependance on GCP.
