As we dive into this story, we’ve all been there – stuck in a frustrating cycle of "Sorry, your internet connection is not working." But today, it’s not just your internet connection that’s at fault. Slack, Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Amazon have all reported outages across the globe, leaving many wondering if it’s just their own internet issues or if something bigger is going on.
According to Downdetector, a website that tracks internet outages, spikes in outages have been reported across these popular services. And while it’s unsettling to see so many online services down at once, there’s a good chance that the culprit is not your home internet connection, but actually Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is experiencing issues of its own.
