Cloudflare down: OpenAI, Twitter, Spotify, Canva, Claude and other big businesses that Cloudflare outage ‘disrupted’
The sites, businesses, and organizations that rely on Cloudflare depend on us being available and I apologize for the impact that we caused. I won’t mince words: earlier today we failed our customers and the broader Internet when a problem in @Cloudflare network impacted large amounts of traffic that rely on us.
That issue, impact it caused, and time to resolution is unacceptable. The trust our customers place in us is what we value the most and we are going to do what it takes to earn that back. Work is already underway to make sure it does not happen again, but I know it caused real pain today.
