Web, app outages in 2025: A snapshot

There have been a number of outages over the past few months that have affected multiple websites.

• Cloudflare on 5 December suffered an outage and since the platform acts as a backbone for a vast part of the internet, any issue with the service leads to a number of websites going down with it. Platforms such as Zerodha, HSBC, Groww, Deliveroo and Angel One went offline, with a ‘500 Internal Server Error’ showing up on users’ screens.
• In November too, issues with Cloudflare impacted platforms across the globe, including AI start-up Anthropic, Sam Altman's ChatGPT, Aravind Srinivas' Perplexity and Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter).
• Also in November, an outage with Amazon Web Services (AWS) that lasted more than 15 hours across over 60 countries, affected platforms including Amazon's retail platform, design platform Canva, gaming platform Fortnite, Lloyds Bank, Reddit, corporate messenger Slack, and social media app Snapchat.
• Prior to that in October 2025, issues with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 led to a massive eight-hour outage that disrupted workflow for thousands of users and negatively impacted Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Xbox Live.
• Downdetector data showed X was down for more than 10,000 users in the United States, with signs of recovery late in the evening close to 8 pm on June 14.
