Microservices Architecture, Single Point of Failure Risks
The CenturyLink outage is analyzed as a failure of microservices architecture (MSA), where modern systems rely on interconnected pieces of code and external network links. While MSA allows for rapid scaling, it creates vulnerabilities where a single point of failure can disable critical infrastructure nationwide. Alternatives like the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) are discussed as potential solutions for decentralized data reliability.
