You realized? Yesterday, around 9-10 p.m. Google fell in part of Europe, including Spain. The incident did not last even an hour, but when the Internet giant stumbles, the world trembles and this time was no exception.
Thus, while many people did not even realize why they were having dinner or doing whatever, many others put their hands up because they could not access services such as Gmail, YouTube or the same search engine, among others. The trance, fortunately, was brief and little by little the fallen services were restored in the affected areas.
What caused the fall of Google? According to what is said, a water infiltration in a data center in the Paris area, where it has part of its Google Cloud infrastructure, the company’s cloud services on which it deploys its own products. Nothing Google employees couldn’t control quickly.
However, what for the bulk of Google users in the affected area was resolved in a short space of time, for some less it lasted much longer, and there are even those who at this time, 12 hours later, are still complaining due to problems in the access or performance of specific services.
Currently, the Google Cloud status page maintains various alerts related to yesterday’s incident.

As it could not be otherwise, if the problem took -again, in general terms- a short time to be resolved, it took even less time to occupy its place among the news media of half the world, recording the relevance of the service of the Internet giant in our lives. And more and more, especially Google.
It’s like what is said about when China catches a cold, the world sneezes; because when Google stumbles, the world trembles. And it is that It wasn’t just the company’s sites that were affected.: Many others, dependent in one way or another on their infrastructure or professional services, reported problems of different kinds.
To all this, while Google disappeared from the map for millions of people, where did people complain and mock the event? On twitter, of course.
