I don't have hard evidence for this (might try and find some at some point though), but I feel like outages have become progressively more common in the last 4-5ish years.
Feels like every time the AI tools "get better" there's an increase and no one gives a shit. Like, what the fuck? When did stability and reliability become so irrelevant to people?
Hell, GitHub might as well just close up shop with the amount of outages it's had recently! I get that the bubble is a bubble but how has AI not cost companies enough in outages to show it's a waste???
Could be due to the prolific centralisation of major infrastructure and services. Also, people just keep paying regardless of poor stability due to vendor lock-in.
