#AWSOutage - Oct 20, 2025

When Virginia’s AWS US-East-1 went down, the internet blinked.

Platforms hit:
Slack · Asana · Zoom · Canva · Snapchat · Reddit · Venmo · Fortnite · Robinhood · Amazon Alexa & more.

Even a single AWS region failure rippled across:
•Productivity tools (Slack, Asana, Smartsheet)
•Social & consumer apps (Snapchat, Reddit, Duolingo)
•Financial platforms (Venmo, Robinhood, Coinbase)
•Entertainment (Fortnite, Prime Video)
