Several AWS services were experiencing problems early Wednesday, according to its status page. This means that any app, site or service relying on AWS might also be down, too. Down Detector reported over 1,000 user complaints.
“Kinesis [Amazon’s data streaming service] has been experiencing increased error rates this morning in our US-East-1 Region that’s impacted some other AWS services,” Amazon said in a statement to The Verge. The irony is that the outage is also affecting the company’s “ability to post updates to the Service Health Dashboard,” so not even Amazon is immune from its own downtime.
A number of companies that rely on AWS have tweeted out that they’re experiencing issues as a result, including Roku, Flickr, Adobe Spark, Target-owned Shipt and Spotify-owned Anchor. TechCrunch however is still working.
