I noticed an interesting phenomenon this evening - traditional cloud services have faced recurring issues in the latter half of the year.

On October 20, Amazon AWS services went down directly for 15 hours, causing disruptions for thousands of businesses, including large companies like Apple and McDonald's. Even stranger is that Microsoft Azure also collapsed on October 29, going down for more than 8 hours, which left Alaska Airlines passengers unable to check in, and the voting system in the Scottish Parliament malfunctioning.

In June, there was a larger crisis than Google Cloud, as the global outage lasted for 7 hours, causing a massive shutdown of Spotify, Discord, and Snapchat. On November 18, even Cloudflare could not withstand it, and some Chat GPT users and X platform users completely lost connection, unable to even open their error page - this process was truly ironic.

With this giant central entity facing problems one after another, I began to understand why many people are betting on decentralized infrastructure. The work must be robust, we must adhere to a minimum of discipline, and we must earn the industry's love thanks to real skills – this applies equally to the technical framework. In the end, true stability may depend on distributed networks.
