Massive Internet Outage caused by Cloudflare, AWS, and Google Cloud — List of all the websites down
Update: As of 9:13 PM Thursday, June 12, 2025 Pacific Time (PT) everything seems to be operational except for some Minor Service Outage at Cloudflare. Google Cloud Service outage had a domino effect for taking down several services across the globe.
Original: Three biggest cloud service providers’ — Cloudflare, AWS, and Google Cloud — outage takes down the whole internet! Unpacking the simultaneous outages of Cloudflare, AWS, and Google Cloud occurring right now, and which services may be impacted across the globe.
When we think of the cloud, we often imagine reliability, scalability, and the seamless availability of services across the globe. But on June 12, 2025, that illusion was shattered for millions. A major and unprecedented incident saw Cloudflare, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) suffer simultaneous outages—crippling some of the world’s most widely used internet platforms and services.
From Spotify and Discord to Google Drive, OpenAI, and Rocket League, the ripple effect of this digital earthquake is both wide-reaching and deeply felt.
Here is a chart of the services that may be down right now:
What Actually Happened?
Cloudflare community lit up as users began reporting widespread issues with web services. According to the Cloudflare status page, a major incident is underway Broad Cloudflare service outages Posted 2 hours ago June 12, 2025–18:48 UTC.
The initial user reports pointed to:
- Inaccessibility of websites hosted via Cloudflare Pages
- API request failures
- Proxy and CDN traffic disruption
- Connectivity issues on services like Discord, Spotify, and Google Meet
Which Cloudflare services are down?
Cloudflare’s critical Workers KV service went offline due to an outage of a 3rd party service that is a key dependency. As a result, certain Cloudflare products that rely on KV service to store and disseminate information are unavailable including:
- Access
- WARP
- Browser Isolation
- Browser Rendering
- Durable Objects (SQLite backed Durable Objects only)
- Workers KV
- Realtime
- Workers AI
- Stream
- Parts of the Cloudflare dashboard
- Turnstile
- AI Gateway
- AutoRAG
This was not just a localized data center issue. Something was failing at a core infrastructural level, possibly within the Tier 1 Internet backbone, with some pointing to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route leaks or misconfigurations.
Google Cloud down
While AWS and Google Cloud on 12 June 2025, 12:56 PDT also updated their status pages with concurrent outage notices across the globe.
Possible cause of failure
Multiple comments suggested that a BGP routing failure may have impacted the backbone that underpins internet connectivity between large providers. BGP is the protocol responsible for determining how data gets from one point to another on the internet. If BGP tables are corrupted or routes are leaked or misconfigured, even the biggest cloud platforms can become unreachable.
If that theory holds, it underscores a long-standing concern in internet infrastructure: centralized dependency on a fragile protocol that dates back to the early days of the web.

Final Thoughts
June 12, 2025 will be remembered as one of the most significant digital infrastructure failures in recent memory. It wasn’t just about a website being down—it was about a fundamental crack in the internet’s backbone that shook the trust and reliability of the cloud-first world.
Businesses should be taking this moment to evaluate their disaster recovery plans, improve their monitoring stack, and question the dependencies built into their architecture.
