Kitchen nightmare: How to prevent a massive flood under the sink?

I just spent my entire Sunday mopping up water because a supply line under my kitchen sink decided to burst while I was out getting groceries. Thankfully I was only gone for an hour, but the wooden cabinet is already starting to warp, and I’m terrified of this happening again when I’m actually away for a weekend. The hose that failed looked like a standard plastic one, and it just snapped at the connection point.
I’m looking for ways to modernize my kitchen plumbing so I don't have to live in constant fear of a flood. Are there specific types of hoses or equipment that are 'fail-proof'? I've also heard about these smart leak detectors, but do they actually work in time to save your floors? I really want to upgrade everything under the sink to the safest possible standard, but I’m not sure where to start with the 'modern' hardware. Any advice on the best protective gear would be life-saving!
