On Juneโ€ฏ12, 2025, a major Google Cloud outage disrupted key digital servicesโ€”Spotify, Discord, Snapchat, Character.ai and othersโ€”affecting tens of thousands of users globally, according to Downdetector reports. Cloudflare also experienced partial outages tied to Google Cloud issues, though core services remained intact.

๐Ÿง  In Focus

This outage highlights the fragility of internet infrastructure: a single providerโ€™s fault can ripple across apps, messaging, streaming, and even smart home systems. It's a powerful reminder that high availability doesn't mean invincible infrastructure.
