Google Cloud had a big problem that stopped popular online services like Spotify and Discord from working around the world. Many users saw these problems, and Spotify had the most issues at about 3 p.m. EST. Google Cloud said they knew about the problem, which affected their customers in many countries. They found out what caused it and started to fix it, but they didn't know when it would be completely fixed. Google Cloud helps many internet services and is growing fast within Alphabet Inc. Last year, it made $43.2 billion, which is 31% more than in 2023. But Alphabet still makes most of its money from Google's search engine.
