Uniswap has indicated that https://app.uniswap.org/ experienced a brief outage due to an issue with the IPFS gateway provided by the service provider Cloudflare. However, this incident also highlighted the benefits of decentralization.
Uniswap offers several alternative IPFS channels for users to access:

Users can also set up their own access to the Uniswap interface:

Additionally, there are sites provided by service providers:

http://uniswap.eth.link/#/swap
Other DeFi platforms include Dharma, Rainbow, as well as other aggregator platforms, and even Etherscan.
Uniswap further emphasizes that if there is a failure in centralized finance (CeFi), you are unable to use the service, while DeFi on Ethereum does not have a centralized single point of failure.
