designing and implementing resilient systems is hard...
AWS has a brief second outage in a week... and some sites and apps are affected
AWS went down again and took down a whole host of websites - now we know why
Knowing how complex those systems are, it is amazing such issues are not observed more often...
While internet, and cloud providers, are designed to be highly resilient, they have centralized connections and management that prevents automatic recovery.
Maybe "Web3" or related tools could provide better alternative, or at least some alternative...
In fact systems could be designed to be "anti-fragile", that is even better than "resilient"...
"Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better".[1]
