Amazon services like Prime and Alexa, along with online platforms such as Snapchat, Roblox, and Lyft, are facing disruptions, as reported by Downdetector. The issues began to surface shortly after 3 a.m. ET. The status page for Amazon Web Services indicated the issue at 3:11 a.m. ET, and engineers were looking into it, having potentially pinpointed the underlying cause by 5 a.m. ET.

Numerous websites rely on AWS, resulting in widespread internet interruptions when problems arise.

(Disclosure: Downdetector is a subsidiary of Ziff Davis, the same organization that owns Mashable.)

Websites impacted by the AWS outage comprise:

– Snapchat
– Amazon
– Roblox
– Robinhood
– Amazon Alexa
– Ring
– HBO Max
– Chime
– Venmo
– Lyft
– Prime Video
– Fortnite
– Disney+
– Hulu
– Roku
– Signal
– IMDb
– United Airlines
– Amazon Music
– Reddit
– Character.AI
– AT&T
– My Fitness Pal
– Steam

Not all services were completely down. For example, Reddit reported reduced performance due to issues with “Reddit infrastructure,” occurring simultaneously with the AWS outage. Slack encountered notable performance problems associated with an “upstream provider,” yet remained functional on Monday morning.

This is an evolving situation, and additional details will be provided as they become known.
