Why everything from Netflix to Nintendo goes offline when Amazon's servers have issues
that depend on Amazon's widely used web hosting and cloud infrastructure.
Those customers include, but aren't limited to, Netflix, Tinder, Nintendo, McDonald's, Sweetgreen, Disney+, and Roku — all of which experienced issues on Tuesday. Amazon's own e-commerce site was down for some, and its delivery drivers were unable to route deliveries. It was, in short, a total mess — the result of a surprisingly large group of major companies depending entirely on Amazon for base level functionality.
For companies like Netflix, AWS may have been the only viable option when cloud services were required over a decade ago.
