A large-scale outage at Cloudflare on Friday triggered widespread disruptions across India and multiple global regions, taking down key online services. Among the worst hit were leading trading platforms such as Zerodha, Groww, and Angel One, where users found themselves unable to log in, place orders, or access real-time market updates.
Login Failures, Order Delays, Market Data Freeze
The failure stemmed from APIs and backend systems that rely heavily on Cloudflare’s network infrastructure. As these services failed to connect, platforms reported:
• Delays in order execution
• Stalled live market data feeds
• Apps are crashing repeatedly
User complaints surged on social media as traders struggled to complete routine transactions.
Multiple Sectors Impacted Beyond Trading
The outage wasn’t confined to brokerage platforms. A broad range of digital services dependent on Cloudflare’s infrastructure also slowed down or went offline, including:
• Fintech services
• E-commerce websites
• Enterprise productivity tools
• Internal systems of several firms
Disruption During Market Hours Triggers Frustration
The system failure during active market hours intensified concerns for investors. Many took to X (formerly Twitter), tagging their trading platforms, demanding urgent fixes amid potential financial losses due to downtime.
Services Now Recovering Gradually
Cloudflare stated that stabilisation efforts had been initiated, with several regions beginning to see recovery. However, trading platforms confirmed they are maintaining heightened monitoring and expect minor residual issues to persist until systems fully normalise.
