From Zerodha to Groww, many trading apps are having trouble buying and selling shares. Understand why this problem arose.:

News Topical, Digital Desk : The stock market showed a good rise on December 5 after the RBI policy, but the trading apps and platforms of brokerage firms showed a big slowdown. Actually, a problem in the trading platforms and apps of these brokerage firms caused a lot of trouble to the traders and users. Due to a minor technical glitch in Cloudflare (Cloudflare Down), many online services were disrupted, including trading platforms like Zerodha, Angel One and Groww.

This resulted in users experiencing difficulties logging in, placing orders, and accessing market data. These users were experiencing difficulties connecting to Cloudflare-dependent APIs and backend systems. The disruption affected a wide range of sectors, including websites, fintech services, and enterprise tools that rely on Cloudflare's network infrastructure.

Users were troubled for a long time

Trading activity during the market was briefly disrupted, causing delays and complaints from users on social media. Services gradually stabilized as Cloudflare initiated a fix, but the platform continued to monitor the system for remaining issues.

Other services also came to a halt.

In addition to trading platforms, the outage also affected services that rely on Cloudflare, such as AI Chatbot Cloud, Perplexity, and MakeMyTrip. Surprisingly, this is Cloudflare's second major outage in recent months. Last month, a Cloudflare outage brought nearly the entire internet to a standstill, affecting all major services.
