I wonder if this is why LastPass is down. It has completely locked me out of my vault. You'd think it'd continue to work offline in a case like this. :/
Lastpass is down, so if you use lastpass the effect is significantly compounded.
What role does Akamai Edge DNS play in normal internet traffic? DNS responses usually get cached, as far as I understand correctly. And it is usually possible to change your DNS server to e.g. Google's and circumvent the outage. Does Akamai Edge DNS play a role on the server side?
Clearly a big one.
Was just browsing a website where the first page of a query worked, but visiting page 2 of the results was returning a DNS error. Was curious how and why only part of the site was down, but it looks like this was the problem as now the whole site is down.

This is apparently why I can't book my COVID vaccine appointment...
Serious question, has anyone properly solved the issue of DNS as a single point of failure?
GOV.UK for example uses both aws and gcp for DNS

Amazing that down detector manages to stay up during these kinds of outages. Noticed it has been a little slow but they really have done a good job keeping it up even though large portions of the internet is down right now.
