With the AWS outage, it really leads to the point of decentralization: One person's mistake can't break everyone else. When I worked at AWS, I watched at least 5 different outages such as: 1. A person dug up a fiber cable, this broke an entire data center 2. A person hit the power off button for floods, this broke the whole data center 3. A person a month later hit the same button 4. A person deleted an entire database, and took down a whole service But, if it your app was using decentralized compute, and decentralized storage to replace these, it would have weathered the storm. Decentralized services provide the redundancy that major systems often need to provide high reliability. And the solution for those are Shelby for hot storage (to replace S3), and Aptos for compute.
