A recent AWS outage on October 20 has sparked renewed interest in decentralized internet alternatives, highlighting vulnerabilities in centralized cloud infrastructure. The disruption impacted major platforms, including Robinhood, and underscored the dominance of the top three cloud providers, which control over 60% of the global market. Industry leaders, such as Filecoin Foundation President Marta Belcher, have pointed out the risks associated with single points of failure. Experts like Kadan Stadelmann of Komodo and Jacob Willoughby of Storj are advocating for decentralized solutions like Filecoin and Akash, which offer distributed storage and compute resources. While some argue for a complete shift to decentralized systems, others suggest a hybrid approach to enhance resilience by combining traditional and decentralized infrastructures.
