basically the internet is down reddit, stackoverflow, github, paypal, pypi, twitter, twitch, NYT, CNN, BBC, the Guardian... edit: wow, even Amazon.com relies on Fastly for some of its edge caches!

BBC is still up at least in the UK

Not here (although won't be long)

dig bbc.co.uk

  bbc.co.uk.  193 IN A 151.101.64.81

Shopify's CDN is down. Which is causing $15+ million in lost product sales for every hour of outage. Not to mention the loss of any new customers.

StackOverflow and all the StackExchange family of sites are down. I suspect the lost productivity from that will be more costly over the whole economy than potential lost sales via Shopify. People can go back to shopify so those transactions not definitely blocked for ever, any time "lost" due to reference resources being unavailable can't so easily be claimed back.

I don't think you understand how ecommerce works.

A very significant amount of people won't go back. It's why the most effective marketing campaign by far is retargeting those people to convince them to come back. Unfortunately that's not possible in this case since you can't track the users as the site is unusable.

This incident affects: Europe (Amsterdam (AMS), Dublin (DUB), Frankfurt (FRA), Frankfurt (HHN), London (LCY)), North America (Ashburn (BWI), Ashburn (DCA), Ashburn (IAD), Ashburn (WDC), Atlanta (FTY), Atlanta (PDK), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DAL), Los Angeles (LAX)), and Asia/Pacific (Hong Kong (HKG), Tokyo (HND), Tokyo (TYO), Singapore (QPG)).

Affecting Auckland (AKL) which is not on the list so I can only assume it's affecting more locations than they're letting on.

Centralising everything™ and the whole internet goes down because of that.

Amusingly, the Stackoverflow 503 page has a typo: Error 503 Service Unavailable Service Unavailable Guru *Mediation*: Details: cache-lon4236-LON 1623146049 854282175 Varnish cache server

I don't see the typo? definitely a fastly problem though..

Fastly error: unknown domain: numpy.org.

Details: cache-pdk17841-PDK

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wonder why Amazon is not using Cloudfront for their own website.

Fastly gives them the edge performance they need without having to build it themselves. They have been a customer for a while I think.

AWS Route53 and Cloudfront are direct competitors to Fastly.

All of these work from here in Grenoble, France...

Not from Paris, France.
