My site [https://fincaguarumo.com](https://fincaguarumo.com) (hosted by Netlify via fincaguarumo.netlify.app, a next.js app) suddenly returns a 500 error. In the logs, I can see only this: `Error handling request: TypeError: functions is not a function` `at file:///root/src/bootstrap/server.ts:53:45` `at mapped (ext:deno_http/00_serve.ts:407:24)` `at mapped (ext:deno_http/00_serve.ts:513:16)` `at ext:deno_http/00_serve.ts:729:29` `at eventLoopTick (ext:core/01_core.js:178:7)` `at async netlify:bootstrap-stage1:4:1` I have not changed anything recently, I do not have any custom functions. I have no idea how to debug this error as it seems to stem from Netlify itself and not something on my end. Just to be sure, I triggered a manual deploy without cache, updated the @netlify/plugin-nextjs to 5.12.0, but to no avail. The app uses next.js 15. Is there anything else that can be done on my end? ---

Yes, also experiencing this - seems like starting at around 18:08 CEST (UTC+2), our Next.js site [https://upleveled.io](https://upleveled.io) went down (also, currently down): ![Screenshot 2025-08-11 at 19.09.40](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/6/f/6f6779c2541f5cc21abf023f649e7aa6bf69540d.png) In the Edge Functions logs, I have this: ```auto Aug 11, 07:40:22 PM: error Error handling request: TypeError: functions is not a function at file:///root/src/bootstrap/server.ts:53:45 at mapped (ext:deno_http/00_serve.ts:407:24) at mapped (ext:deno_http/00_serve.ts:513:16) at ext:deno_http/00_serve.ts:729:29 at eventLoopTick (ext:core/01_core.js:178:7) at async netlify:bootstrap-stage1:4:1 ``` We don’t use Deno, so it looks like a problem on the Netlify side. Any Netlify support people around? Could you update the Netlify Status page with the outage? [https://www.netlifystatus.com/](https://www.netlifystatus.com/) ---

cc @hrishikesh @Andrew.H@luke @sid.m @serhalp looks like a Netlify outage, maybe you can update the status page at [https://www.netlifystatus.com/](https://www.netlifystatus.com/) ? And let the engineers know if they’re not already aware… ---

I’m in the same situation. Disappointed that Netlify Status is showing nothing useful. ---

Same. If you can disable/comment out any `[[edge_functions]]` in your netlify.toml that will temporarily fix it until they fix stuff on their side. ---

Also happening to me, thought this was an error in my code, lol. We don’t use deno either. [https://bloxora.com](https://bloxora.com) went down about 1-3 hours ago. ---

## Workaround For us, our edge handler was related to our Middleware. The Netlify Next.js adapter runs Middleware on edge functions. Because [Next.js now has Node.js Middleware support](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/middleware#runtime), I tried upgrading to [Next.js canary version v15.4.2-canary.35](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/releases/tag/v15.4.2-canary.35) and then added the `runtime: ‘nodejs’` like below to my configuration in `middleware.ts`: ```auto export const config = { runtime: 'nodejs', ``` After this change, we’re back up: [https://upleveled.io/](https://upleveled.io/) However, Node.js Middleware is marked as “not supported yet” in the Netlify docs: [Next.js on Netlify | Netlify Docs](https://docs.netlify.com/build/frameworks/framework-setup-guides/nextjs/overview/#:~:text=Node.js%20in%20Middleware%3A%20not%20supported%20yet). ---

Hi all, Netlify engineer here. I just wanted to apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused you. The issue was caused by a change to our system that we started rolling out to a subset of our customers, and our automated monitoring failed to catch a problem in that code. We’re putting measures in place to make sure we can respond much quicker should an incident like this ever occur again. I’m sorry again for the stress and confusion and thanks for your patience.
