Some of the world’s most popular digital destinations like ChatGPT, Spotify, X as well as New York-area transit sites, were down Tuesday amid an outage with infrastructure platform Cloudflare.
The company announced “scheduled maintenance” early Tuesday in Atlanta and Tahiti, but by 10 a.m. ET, acknowledged, “Some customers may be still experiencing issues logging into or using the Cloudflare dashboard,” which they were “working on a fix to resolve … and continuing to monitor.”
It wasn’t just the social media-adjacent sites suffering, as tri-state area transportation like MTA, Metro North, the Long Island Railroad and NJ Transit were reportedly affected.
Most recently, the company said there is ongoing “scheduled maintenance” in Sydney, and that they were “continuing to investigate this issue” with the support portal as “customers might encounter errors viewing or responding to support cases.
“We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem,” continued Cloudflare. They did not seem to address the impact on any of the specific sites or apps, which also includes LGBTQ social networking app Grindr.
Just last month, Amazon Web Services experienced an outage that upended the likes of Reddit, Snapchat and Venmo.
