Another day, another worldwide outage of a critical online service that brings numerous websites (including several high-profile ones) down to their knees. This news comes hot on the heels of last month’s Amazon cloud outage, which took down everything from web services to Ring video doorbells to smart beds that cooked their owners .
This time, it’s Cloudflare’s turn. Cloudflare is a US-based company that operates hundreds of data centers, serves as a content delivery network for millions of websites, provides security and DDoS mitigation services for many of those websites, and a lot more.
As of this writing, the Cloudflare outage is causing issues on sites like X (formerly Twitter), ChatGPT, PayPal, and Uber, as well as online games like League of Legends and Valorant .
