A major Cloudflare outage disrupted many top websites and apps on Tuesday, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Uber, Canva, Spotify and X. The company said a sudden spike in unusual traffic triggered errors across its network. A configuration file grew too large and caused a key system to crash. Cloudflare’s CTO later confirmed a “latent bug” was behind the failure and admitted the firm had “failed” customers. Services began returning to normal a few hours later. The company said there was no cyberattack or malicious activity. Cloudflare promised steps to stop similar incidents in the future. (PC: HT)
