🚨 Update as of 20 October, 10:26 GMT+1
AWS recently experienced a major outage. Because so many platforms rely on Amazon Web Services for their infrastructure, the impact was widespread.
What you might have noticed:
-
Atlassian services running slow or unavailable
-
Postman workspaces missing
-
And many other tools behaving unpredictably
Cause: A DNS issue with DynamoDB in US-EAST-1 triggered cascading failures across EC2, Lambda, and related services.
What this means for you:
If your workflows depend on AWS-backed tools, most issues should now be resolved. Some services may still take time to clear their backlogs.
