Rancakmedia.com – Spotify and Discord back up after outage attributed to Google Cloud. On Tuesday, March 8, thousands of Spotify and Discord customers were unable to access their accounts for a short time. This information appears according to the outage monitoring site, Downdetector.com.

In the case of Spotify, more than 138.000 customers have reported problems, while in the case of Discord, more than 65.000 users have reported problems.

“We are aware of the issue causing messages to fail and are working on a fix,” Discord wrote in a tweet.

Discord emphasized that the cause of the difficulties was due to technical reasons as reported by discordstatus.com. “A Google Cloud component called “Traffic Director,” which is responsible for creating our load balancing layer, has been identified as the primary source of this issue. This caused our internal load balancing layer to fail, resulting in loss of API availability. “
