I'm less concerned with instances going away, although that would be annoying if it happened frequently. I'm most concerned with performance. When you have to rely on a web of different hosts to be all fully working at the same time for the experience to be smooth there are going to be more problems inevitably.
You just described the internet lol
Twenty years ago maybe. Since then there have been a handful of sites that most people visit, and in the last 15 years or so they hardly ever went down.
I'm guessing you don't work for a large corp if you think sites don't go down or have backend issues all the time lol
Iโm talking about on a regular basis or for long.
