Who is Dependency Risks?

Dependency Risks is when one thing depends on another, and if that other thing fails, everything else might go wrong too.

Imagine you’re playing with building blocks. You have a tower made of blocks, the top block is your favorite red one. But it’s only staying up because the block below it is strong. Now, what happens if that bottom block gets knocked over? Poof! Your whole tower might fall down. That’s like dependency risks, your red block (or a part of a system) depends on the block below it (another part of the system), and if that one fails, everything above it could go wrong too.

Think of it like a chain. Each link is connected to the next one. If one link breaks, the whole chain might come apart. That’s how dependency risks work in bigger things, like when your phone uses an app, and that app needs a connection to the internet. If the internet goes out, your app can’t work, and you can’t play your game.

So, dependency risks are all about depending on something else, and what happens if that something else fails.
