Discord is entirely down right now, both the website and the app itself. Amusingly, a lot of the sites that normally track outages are also down, which made me think it was my internet at first. Downdetector, monitortheinternet, etc. Lots of other big sites that are down: Patreon, npmjs, DigitalOcean, Coinbase, Zendesk, Medium, GitLab (502), Fiverr, Upwork, Udemy Edit: 15 min later, looks like things are starting to…

Discord attempted to route me to: everydayconsumers.com/displaydirect2?tp1=b49ed5eb-cc44-427d-8d30-b279c92b00bb&kw=attorney&tg1=12570&tg2=216899.marlborotech.com_47.36.66.228&tg3=fbK3As-awso (Visit at your own risk.) Hack?

I don't think it's just Cloudflare; I just had a fun 10 minutes seeing servers start flipping on my Server monitoring service[1]. This has only happened once or twice per year, and is usually due to weird global DNS issues. [1] https://servercheck.in/ (To give an update, I'm seeing from my monitoring systems (about 15 points around the globe) sporadic outages for Microsoft, Apple, Reddit, Bing, Node.js, Twitter, Yaho…

a DNS issue wouldn't cripple all of the internet at once, with all the caching.

Most sites set the absolute minimum TTL for every record, for no reason. There’s a lot less caching than you’re thinking.

I am probably the only one who cares but even https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ is down

Monday Morning RCA: "We pushed out some routine code updates, but this really weird thing happened causing a resource utilization spike on our DNS systems. Because of this other really weird thing, this affected all of our global infrastructure simultaneously. Here's a deep engineering dive into this one weird thing that brought everything down."

Ironically StatusCake is down as well.

I was trying to play video games but couldn't connect. Amazing how connected the web is now - one big hub goes down and brings the whole house of cards down with it.

For people who reports this is down, which country are you in? Because all the reported sites works flawless from Norway (Europe) :-)

Ireland here, and it's all down.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://status.discord.com/ is down. Wow.

Works for me.

I get a DNS servfail when resolving that DNS record, and many others:

    Server:    8.8.8.8
    Address:   8.8.8.8#53
    
    ** server can't find status.discord.com: SERVFAIL

So it's either not just cloudflare, or all those sites use cloudflare to host their DNS.

Lol, talk about timing. I'm currently working on a TLS library and was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why tests against CF sites suddenly failed. Can't even ask my cohorts on Discord because they are behind CF, too!

No kidding! We had literally deployed a major page redesign and started watching our analytics drop off on it's way to zero. My heart is racing still. I wouldn't normally be happy for a cloudflare outage but in this case it's better than Google deciding to remove us from their index.

That's unfortunate timing dude. Good for you, it's probably not your mistake :D
