Affected websites – including Amazon, Reddit, Twitch, and the UK Government website – displayed the message: “Error 503 Service Unavailable”.
On Fastly’s status page, it announced at 9:58 UTC (11:58 CEST) that it was investigating “potential impact to performance with our CDN services”.
By 10:44 UTC (12:44 CEST), it said that it had identified the issue and that a fix was being implemented.
At the time of writing, it says that “the issue has been identified and a fix has been applied”. Indeed, the aforementioned affected websites seem to be available.
