A major outage at Google Cloud caused widespread problems for popular online services like Spotify and Discord. Tens of thousands of users reported issues, with Spotify's outage reports reaching their highest point around 3 p.m. EST. Google Cloud confirmed the incident, stating that it impacted both local and international customers. Although they found the main reason for the problem and started fixing it, Google Cloud could not say when it would be completely resolved. Google Cloud, which hosts many internet services, is the fastest-growing part of Alphabet Inc., earning $43.2 billion in revenue last year, which was a 31% increase from the previous year, even though Alphabet still makes most of its money from Google's search engine.
