I would imagine that the internet is a whole less resilient today in 2019 than it was back in the day before the cloud takeover. It's far more resilient now than it has ever been. More sub-sea cables. Multiple routes across continents.
Constantine is probably right in that the *World Wide Web* engineering is now sorta less resilient to an arbitrary failure than it used to be. One glorious example of that would probably be the "left-pad" incident circa 2016. The *Internet*, however, is different from the WWW, and it's undoubtedly much more stable today. -- Töma
