The internet was brought to its knees on Tuesday, with 503 errors showing up across the web.

Everywhere you looked, there were 503 errors and people complaining they couldn't access key services and news outlets, demonstrating just how much of the internet relies on this largely unheard-of cloud computing service.

Rather than isolated incidents affecting individual sites, it turned out this was a massive outage that had brought much of the internet to its knees.

PT, the company tweeted: "We identified a service configuration that triggered disruptions across our POPs globally and have disabled that configuration.

We identified a service configuration that triggered disruptions across our POPs globally and have disabled that configuration.

Fastly is a cloud computing service provider, headquartered in San Francisco, that's been around since 2011.

In 2017, it launched an edge cloud platform designed to bring websites closer to the people who use them.

Due to the localized nature of the edge cloud platform, it also means that errors don't affect all regions in the same way at the same time (although people all across the world reported experiencing problems on Tuesday).

We know that Tuesday's internet outage was caused by a "service configuration," but not much more than that right now.
