Amazon Outages: Fun Facts and Chaos
Amazon DownHere are some 'fried facts' (fun, surprising, or little-known tidbits) about Amazon outages—times when the e-commerce giant or its cloud service (AWS) went down:
1. Prime Day Glitch (2018)
During Prime Day 2018, Amazon’s website crashed for nearly an hour due to overwhelming traffic. Shoppers saw errors like 'Dogs of Amazon'—a placeholder page featuring pictures of dogs.
2. AWS Outage Paralyzes the Internet (2021)
In December 2021, a major AWS outage took down Zoom, Netflix, Disney , Ring doorbells, and even Amazon’s own delivery operations for hours. The cause? A network error in AWS’s US-East-1 data center.
3. Alexa Went Silent (2020)
In September 2020, Alexa stopped responding for many users because of an AWS API issue. People had to—gasp—manually turn on their lights.
4. The Whole Internet Felt It (2017)
A single typo by an Amazon engineer in 2017 caused a massive AWS S3 outage, taking down Slack, Trello, and even parts of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
5. Amazon’s Cashierless Stores Failed (2023)
In March 2023, some Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go stores couldn’t process payments due to an AWS outage. Shoppers walked out with free groceries because the 'Just Walk Out' tech failed.
6. Kindle Users Couldn’t Read (2021)
A Kindle outage in 2021 left users unable to download new books. Some joked it was 'the most first-world problem ever.'
7. Amazon’s Own Workers Were Locked Out (2021)
During the AWS outage in November 2021, even Amazon warehouse workers couldn’t scan packages or access schedules, causing delivery delays.
Why Do Amazon Outages Cause Chaos?
Because AWS powers ~33% of the internet, including Netflix, Reddit, and government sites. When AWS sneezes, the whole web catches a cold.
Would you believe one misplaced command can cost millions? That’s the power (and fragility) of the cloud! 🌩️🔥
