This is architectural problem, the LUA bug, the longer global outage last week, a long list of earlier such outages only uncover the problem with architecture underneath. The original, distributed, decentralized web architecture with heterogeneous endpoints managed by myriad of organisations is much more resistant to this kind of global outages. Homogeneous systems like Cloudflare will continue to cause global outages. Rust won't help, people will always make mistakes, also in Rust. Robust architecture addresses this by not allowing a single mistake to bring down myriad of unrelated services at once.

Not too long ago, critical avionics were programmed by different software developers and the software was run on different hardware architectures, produced by different manufacturers. These heterogeneous systems produced combined control outputs via a quorum architecture – all in a single airplane.

Now half of the global economy seems to run on same service provider, it seems…
