   Countless websites and apps around the world went down for about an   
   hour Tuesday after Fastly, a major content delivery network, reported   
   a widespread failure.   
      
   Fastly supports news sites and apps like CNN, the Guardian, the New   
   York Times and many others. It also provides content delivery for   
   Twitch, Pinterest, HBO Max, Hulu, Reddit, Spotify and other   
   services. The outage took down other major internet platforms and   
   sites, including Amazon, Target, and the UK government website   
   - Gov.uk.   
      
   The problem was caused by an outage at Fastly, a cloud service   
   provider. The company said on its service status website (which was   
   working) Tuesday morning it had identified the problem and fixed the   
   issue. Service for sites and apps started to be restored around 7   
   a.m. ET, although Fastly said some customers may experience longer   
   load times as a residual effect of the problem.

   Yes, it's a month old. No, I don't know why I didn't find it   
   before. C'est la vie.
