Many websites are affected by a global server failure that causes them to cease functioning.

The technical issue of Fastly, the tech giant that provides CDN (content delivery networks) services for large media and helps distribute content more quickly through the internet, has prevented access from many Internet pages including Amazon, Reddit. Chartbeat, Spotify, Twitch, streaming platforms like Twitch, and some of the most influential digital newspapers around the world. The service failed to work on some pages that were still operational. Twitter was affected by the inability to display images and emojis. Because of this centralization, if one page is down, the rest will follow it. The multimillionaire companies are not losing valuable data, but they are losing time and quality service to their customers. This issue also highlights the overreliance on Internet services on a global scale.

The servers returned a 503 error message when trying to access them. This means that there was a problem with the server hosting them. It temporarily prevents users from accessing the internet. The HTTP status code 503 indicates that the server cannot process a request. A message is sent to the client saying "service unavailable" or "service not available".

Reddit users reported nearly 21,000 problems with the social media platform. Twitch users reported more problems than 5,000, and Amazon users reported over 2,000 problems, according to Downdetector.com, an outage monitoring website.

At 11:58 in Spain, the problem was first detected. The company reported the problem almost an hour later at 13:13 p.m. Your infrastructure-dependent pages have started to work normally. Although the cause of this incident remains unknown, Fastly's CEO has stated to The Wall Street Journal that he believes it to be a cyberattack against its infrastructure.

Alphabet's major services (Google, Gmail YouTube, YouTube, and the cloud storage service), experienced a temporary decrease in global usage on December 14. The entire search engine giant's ecosystem was affected by this mistake. YouTube, Google Classroom, Google Drive, and Google Meet, are just a few of the many search engine giants that have been affected.

This is a common problem in the Network of networks but it magnifies its impact when it affects technological giants. Amazon's cloud computing division was affected by an outage in November that affected approximately two dozen customers. This included streaming hardware maker Roku and software vendor Adobe. It also affected digital photography service Flickr, as well as many media outlets throughout Spain.
