Why the Internet keeps going down every few weeks
The internet experiences major outages every few weeks due to increasing centralisation—AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure now power most online services, creating single points of failure. Technical issues like DNS problems, configuration errors, and automation failures cascade across interconnected systems. Despite redundancy efforts, these outages disrupt emergency services, banking, and transportation.The decentralised internet envisioned for resilience has become a fragile network dependent on a few massive providers.
