Unpkg, an open-source content delivery network, went down for several hours. The outage broke the thousands of websites that use it.
Unpkg, a content delivery network that powers more than 4 billion requests per day, went down for several hours on Friday morning. The outage broke the thousands of websites that use the open-source CDN, leaving developers scrambling for a fix. The outage appeared to have started around 4AM ET, with sites returning a 520 error from Cloudflare, which powers Unpkg.
io — the service that Unpkg’s origin server uses to provide auto-scaling infrastructure — announced that it “deployed a fix” to recover affected sites. Even though the outage was resolved within hours, it marks yet another example of how fragile the volunteer-led coding ecosystem is. In late March, a developer discovered a malicious backdoor in the data compression tool XZ Utils. Popular Linux distributions, such as Red Hat and Debian, incorporate the tool, leaving a ton of systems at risk.
