[Verse 1] Your database sits alone on server twelve No backup guardian, no helping shelves One cable feeds the power to your core When lightning strikes, your empire hits the floor The payment processor that runs your store Lives in a basement somewhere near Bangalore [Chorus] Single points will make you cry When the dominoes amplify Map the nodes and trace the wire Before your whole stack catches fire Single points will make you cry Draw the graph and ask yourself why One small break can kill the dream Nothing's stronger than the weakest seam [Verse 2] Your CDN routes through a single town When earthquakes hit, your website tumbles down That API key stored in just one vault When hackers breach, guess who takes the fault The subnet masks that funnel all your data Through one small pipe - hello network trauma [Chorus] Single points will make you cry When the dominoes amplify Map the nodes and trace the wire Before your whole stack catches fire Single points will make you cry Draw the graph and ask yourself why One small break can kill the dream Nothing's stronger than the weakest seam [Bridge] Score the criticality on a scale Ten means death, one means you'll never fail Dependency trees reveal the hidden truth Redundant paths will keep you bulletproof Visualize the cascade when things break Mirror every component for your sake [Verse 3] The CEO's laptop holds the master keys One coffee spill brings giants to their knees Your fiber optic crosses just one bridge When boats collide, you're stuck on the ridge Authentication flows through one small door When servers crash, your users can't explore [Final Chorus] Single points will make you cry When the dominoes amplify Map the nodes and trace the wire Before your whole stack catches fire Single points will make you cry Draw the graph and ask yourself why One small break can kill the dream Nothing's stronger than the weakest seam [Outro] Redundancy saves the day When single points just fade away
