Following Google Cloud's recent widespread outage, which took sites like Spotify, Cloudflare and Discord offline, the company released its detailed report sharing exactly why it failed customers. The company says the root cause was a code issue in Service Control – part of the company's API management and policy checking system.

Several Google services, like Search, Cloud, as well as, Spotify, and more, were hit with a massive outage today.

Google says an API management issue is behind Thursday's massive Google Cloud outage, which disrupted or brought down its services and many other online platforms.
