Site Reliability 101
summary
Claim: simple redundancy prevents small failures from becoming outages. Uses a real example of slides hosted on Prezi with a local Prezi desktop app copy and a PDF fallback when the service and offline copy both fail. Applies same pattern to domain.com.au: the homepage is served from a CDN cache and also stored in the end user’s browser cache so a backend outage or CDN misconfiguration still yields a visible site.
