Amazon Web Services issue spurs outage of global websites and apps
"Amazon Web Services (AWS) confirmed the issue in an update on its status page on Monday, after web users reported difficulties accessing websites. We can confirm significant error rates for requests made to the DynamoDB endpoint in the US-EAST-1 Region, said the AWS status update. In a subsequent update it said it had identified a potential root cause for [the] error rates and was working on multiple parallel paths to accelerate recovery."
"Major platforms including AI startup Perplexity, trading app Robinhood, messaging app Signal and crypto exchange Coinbase all said their issues were due to the AWS outage. Perplexity is down right now. The root cause is an AWS issue. We're working on resolving it, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said in a post on X. Downdetector, a site where web users report outages, carried a roll call of popular sites where users had experienced access difficulties amid the outage."
