Properly designed distributed systems.
Challenge: Design a fault tolerant event-driven architecture. Only rule, you aren’t allowed to use a database. At all. This is actually an interview question for a top employer. Answer this right and you get a salary that will change your life.
No, those go down all the time. AWS had three nines last year. Bitcoin had the value overflow incident.
Credit cards still worked…

Again, there are fault tolerant distributed systems out there that don’t rely on a single point of failure.
That’s not to say failure doesn’t happen.
