Google Cloud API outage sends ripple through web, hits Cloudflare too

Earlier today, a widespread Google Cloud Platform API failure knocked out key services—from Google Search, Meet, and Nest to Spotify, Discord, and the DCD website. Cloudflare’s Access and Workers features also faltered as the outage cascaded, though recovery began within hours. Both companies are now working to stabilize systems and fill caches, underscoring how interconnected modern cloud infrastructure has become.
