Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Monday faced a major outage that took down online services, including Amazon, Alexa, Snapchat, Fortnite, and more.

According to a report by The Verge, the AWS status checker has reported multiple services are “impacted" by operational issues, and that the company is “investigating increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS services in the US-EAST-1 Region" — though outages are also impacting services in other regions globally.

The issue was first reported in the US-EAST-1 Region at 3:11AM ET. “We are actively engaged and working to both mitigate the issue and understand root cause. We will provide an update in 45 minutes, or sooner if we have additional information to share," Amazon said in an update published at 3:51AM ET.

The issue has affected platforms running on its cloud network, including Perplexity, Airtable, Canva, and the McDonalds app.

The company has not revealed the cause of the outage and did not mention when the regular service will be restored.

“Perplexity is down right now," Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said on X. “The root cause is an AWS issue. We’re working on resolving it."
