I wonder if services such as #Cloudflare, AWS and Azure have become so complex that they are impossible to run reliably, despite having all the necessary resources and expertise.
Yeah, I'm not saying they should be 100% reliable, but one of their propositions is that they are more reliable than running services on premise because they have the resources and experts, thus the centralization is worth it because although downtimes will affect everyone, there will be much fewer of them. But I'm not sure if it's the case any more.
@kepi I've recently stumbled upon 3rd party backup&restore solution for O365&co.
This got me thinking that despite "we are now in the cloud, supplier is taking care of everything" we are back where we started: e.g. "we now have the basics up and running, now how to do a backup and restore if something wrong happens?" 1/2
This is probably a large scale industry mistake. In my time as a systems engineer and later a DevOps engineer, there's been a drastic push for more complex architectures. I'm not entirely sure that the drive for those architectures was genuine and I suspect a large chunk of it is resume-driven development. It's not just the services you listed, but solutions made even for enterprise self-hosting too.

IMHO that is one of main reasons why web shouldn't be centralized like this.
