Answer
They can lead to widespread system outages and degraded performance.
Cascading Failures occur when the failure of one service causes downstream services to fail, potentially bringing down the entire system. For example, if a user authentication service fails in a multi-service application, all services relying on it might also fail, causing a complete outage.
