## Resource

In this episode of The CTO Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into Cloudflare's massive infrastructure migration: moving 30 million requests per second from a legacy edge architecture to a new proxy stack without a single minute of downtime. They break down the technical challenges — from connection draining to canary deployments — and the cultural discipline behind the rollout. A masterclass in high-stakes migration strategy for CTOs and engineering leaders. #Cloudflare #InfrastructureMigration #EdgeComputing #CTOPodcast #EngineeringLeadership #ZeroDowntime #ProxyStack #CanaryDeployment #ConnectionDraining #HighAvailability #BusinessAndTechnology #TechnicalLeadership #Architecture #EngineeringOrg #Scalability #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #RealWorldEngineering Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
