I am thinking one should never trust a single supplier no matter how big and trustworthy you think they are.
One opinion I have heard a few times goes like this: It's not a problem if we are completely dependent on CloudFlare, GCE, or Amazon. If they go down many other systems will go down as well, and customers won't blame us.
The problem with that line of thinking is, that the bigger the provider is, the less important each customer is to the provider. There have been stories about individual customers of big providers getting into trouble.
