Internet Status — August 12, 2026: All Clear

The internet is running normally today. Checks across major cloud providers, CDNs, and platforms — AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, GitHub, OpenAI, Discord, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Stripe, Slack, Zoom, and Atlassian — show no active incidents, and crowd-sourced outage trackers show no unusual spikes in problem reports.

Minor items worth noting: Twilio is investigating an IP-retrieval API issue affecting EU regional customers and lists degraded performance on a few carrier-network components (MMS short code and toll-free in North America, voice in Middle East & Africa) plus the SendGrid API (status.twilio.com). Akamai is investigating delays in its Certificate Provisioning System's domain validation (akamaistatus.com). Neither affects general internet connectivity.

Recently resolved (past 72 hours): DigitalOcean cleared a major incident affecting account registration and Droplet provisioning on August 9 (status.digitalocean.com). On August 11, Cloudflare resolved brief connectivity errors in London along with minor analytics delays (cloudflarestatus.com), and Fastly resolved elevated errors on its API and configuration management services.

Bottom line: no meaningful outages detected today. The internet is up.
