Cascading Failures Aren't Inevitable: Lessons from the AWS DNS Outage

Nov 12, 2025 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
AWS outages grab headlines because they affect millions, but the root cause often comes down to something invisible: DNS failures and cascading service dependencies.

If you’ve ever opened your Google Cloud bill and felt confused, you’re not alone. Costs in GCP can spike up fast. One project here, a few APIs there, until the total looks nothing like what you expected. That’s because Google Cloud pricing is built for flexibility. You pay for what you use, across dozens of services, each with its own rules, discounts, and data charges. It’s robust, but also easy to lose sight of what’s driving your spend. The good news?
