Graceful degradation is a design approach that ensures the basics of a website will still function even if specific individual parts of it stop working. The approach removes single points of failure.
However, it's become increasingly crucial to web development as user expectations around availability and functionality rise. Data center redundancy is a common example of graceful degradation.
In a design context, it may look like guaranteeing the lack of support for a given feature in a user's browser or device doesn't render an app unusable.
A factory with multiple sources of material can keep working even when one supplier becomes unavailable. This principle enhances the resilience of websites.
