Cloudflare stopped working recently, which led to major disruptions on trading platforms including Groww, Zerodha, and Angel One. As the APIs and backend systems connected to Cloudflare stopped responding, many users faced issues logging in, placing orders, or accessing the market data.
The outage impacted several regions across the world, and many websites, fintech Services, and enterprise tools. Users on social media complained about delays in market trading during the trading hours. The services were fixed after the company made fixes, but as per the report, monitoring continued to fix other issues that were left. Platforms that use Cloudflare services like Perplexity, MakemyTrip, and AI chat, both Claude were also affected.
This is not a rare case of outage, as the Cloudflare server has faced a similar problem just a few months back. Last month, the entire internet went down due to a Cloudflare service outage; several services and platforms that were not directly related were also affected. Platforms like X, Letterboxd, Downdetector, and Medium were also down. Cloudflare manages a lot of internet services; hence, a small glitch in its service takes down the entire internet, affecting large amounts of data and transactions.
Cloudflare has made it official that the services are back on track, and everything is back to normal. The latest outage lasted for over 12 minutes, starting at around 2:26 pm. The service provider handles a large amount of modern internet, handling data, service delivery, and several tools that protect sites from cyber attack and keep sites running.
Platforms including Zerodha, Groww, and Angel One have taken to X to inform the users that the sites have been restored after the malfunction.
