AWS is a problem. Do you agree with this take?
AWS outage takes down half the internet. Here's how we fix it.
On October 20, 2025, a major AWS outage has taken down huge portions of the internet — including Amazon, Alexa, Snapchat, Fortnite, Roblox, Signal, Slack, Reddit, Canva, Airtable, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Epic Games Store.
According to the AWS Health Dashboard(new window), multiple Amazon services are experiencing operational issues in the US-EAST-1 region (North Virginia), and the cause is still under investigation. It's not the first time this happened, as similar AWS outages in the same region previously occurred in 2023, 2021, and 2020, each causing widespread service interruptions.
