Hundreds of popular online games, apps, and websites — including Roblox, Snapchat, Amazon, and Ring — have experienced widespread server outages linked to Amazon’s cloud network.

Reports of outages began flooding in from the United Kingdom around 3 a.m. EST, according to Downdetector, which tracks online service disruptions.

Downdetector has recorded more than 2,000 outage reports from Roblox users, over 3,000 from Snapchat, and roughly 2,000 related to Ring and Amazon.com access.

Slack, Zoom, Venmo, Coinbase, Hulu, Microsoft 365, WhatsApp, and Fortnite were also among the platforms hit by widespread disruptions.

The disruption appears to be tied to Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) vast cloud network that hosts and powers countless websites and apps across the internet.

Amazon said on its service status page that “multiple AWS services” were experiencing “increased error rates” and delays.

“We can confirm increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region. This issue may also be affecting Case Creation through the AWS Support Center or the Support API. We are actively engaged and working to both mitigate the issue and understand root cause,” Amazon wrote.

“Engineers were immediately engaged and are actively working on both mitigating the issue, and fully understanding the root cause. We will continue to provide updates as we have more information to share, or by 2:00 AM.”

The AWS disruption appears linked to a data center in northern Virginia but has triggered outage reports worldwide.

On Monday morning, the company said it was starting to recover from the issue and was “fully mitigated.”
