Major Platforms Go Dark as AWS Outage Spreads
Several top tech platforms — including Coinbase, Snapchat, Roblox, Canva, and Duolingo — have been hit by widespread outages linked to a major Amazon Web Services (AWS) disruption. The issues began earlier today and have quickly impacted users around the globe, sparking concerns across social media.
AWS is the backbone infrastructure for thousands of applications and websites. When it experiences disruptions, the ripple effect can take down everything from gaming platforms to finance apps.
Coinbase, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, has acknowledged the issue and is actively working on restoring access. In a reassuring statement, the company emphasized that “all funds are safe.”
Coinbase Users Locked Out
Many Coinbase users reported login issues, delayed transactions, and inaccessible wallets during the outage. While trading has been partially affected, Coinbase’s backend systems remain intact thanks to redundant infrastructure.
The company’s engineering team is in direct contact with AWS and is closely monitoring system performance. Their priority remains clear: ensuring the security of funds and account data while restoring full platform functionality.
Widespread Impact Across the Tech Space
Coinbase isn’t alone. Snapchat users have reported being unable to send messages or load stories, Roblox players are stuck with loading errors, and Canva users have experienced design saving issues. Language learning app Duolingo also saw major functionality failures.
All these platforms rely heavily on AWS’s cloud infrastructure for uptime and scalability. Today’s incident underscores the vulnerability of even the most robust apps when their shared backbone service hits a snag.
AWS has acknowledged the issue and is investigating. While some services are coming back online gradually, users are advised to remain patient as full restoration may take some time.
