Cloudflare informed users that the issue has been identified and a fix has been implemented
Popular Content Delivery Network (CDN) Cloudflare is experiencing an outage which has led to several services like Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Omegle, and Discord going down. The service has acknowledged the “widespread issues” and is working on a fix.
Several users on the internet are seeing a “500 internal server error” message. This happens when a web server is experiencing problems. Several platforms and apps, such as Medium.com, Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Discord, etc. rely on Cloudflare’s network infrastructure for providing web services.
The company, on its website, said that it is investigating the issue. Updates on the website revealed that a critical P0 incident was declared, which disrupted Cloudflare’s network in broad regions. “Eyeballs attempting to reach Cloudflare sites in impacted regions will observe 500 errors. The incident impacted all data plane services in our network,” the company stated.
Within a few minutes, the company stated that the issue had been identified and a fix is being implemented. Several apps and websites whose services were down due to the outage also notified and informed users about the same.
This is the second such Cloudflare outage reported within a week. Last week, the outage was limited to the India region, which caused several services to face performance issues. Popular services in India like Shopify, Udemy, Zerodha, Canva, Discord, Acko Insurance, etc., that run their operations on Cloudflare’s network experienced issues. Cloudflare did not reveal the exact cause or any other details of the issue at the time either. The services were up and running after a couple of hours of outage.
