Alphabet's Google said on Thursday it had resolved a brief global service disruption on its platforms that affected multiple services such as music streamer Spotify and instant messaging provider Discord.

Many AI developers started their morning amid a Google Cloud outage affecting many of the tools they use to build products.

Any major problems with providers like this will result in lots of your favorite online sites and apps going down. Down Detector on Thursday saw user-reported issues at Twitch, Gmail, Discord, Nintendo Switch Online, Spotify, and dozens more platforms.

Google Cloud services were down and are affecting other sites, according to Replit and Cloudflare.
