DigitalOcean outage on April 17, 2026
Nothing's wrong that we can see: all 7 DigitalOcean regions are currently healthy and there are no regional network anomalies detected, but Isitreallydown? does not yet have fresh synthetic probe or DNS measurements to confirm end-to-end connectivity (Telemetry confidence: medium). DigitalOcean’s official status page is reporting a major incident affecting the Gradient AI component (“GradientAI: Agent Platform Playground Interaction Errors”), and with otherwise quiet signals this looks component-specific rather than a broad platform disruption.
