AWS going down makes you realise how much of the internet lives in one cloud. Perplexity, Slack, Canva, Snapchat… Wow

AWS is down, and a lot of other services are impacted (Slack, Atlassian, Zoom). It’s crazy how centralized are the services we use on a daily basis, and how impactful are these outages for the productivity of companies.
