About SoundCloud
SoundCloud is an audio streaming platform built for independent artists and creators. Unlike Spotify or Apple Music, anyone can upload their music to SoundCloud, which has made it the launchpad for artists like Post Malone, Billie Eilish, and Chance the Rapper. It hosts over 300 million tracks and is a key discovery tool for underground and emerging music.

- Audio streaming CDN failures causing playback interruptions
- Recommendation engine errors serving irrelevant or broken playlists
- Licensing verification system failures blocking track playback
