At some point, no matter how hard you try, how much redundancy you put in, and how many processes you enforce, something will go wrong.

If you operate a large network, that means that you're probably going to experience an outage sooner or later.

When the worst happens, how should you respond?

In the latest episode of the DCD Zero Downtime podcast, we talk to the CTO of Cloudflare about how the company deals with outages.

We reached out to John Graham-Cumming because we liked the way Cloudflare responds to incidents, and wanted to learn more about that process.

Elsewhere in the podcast, we discussed the Edge - a term that Graham-Cumming has banned the use of at Cloudflare - and the company's own Supercloud.

We also chat about Plan 28, his efforts to build Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.
