On the webstore, you will be facing the following message
“We’re sorry, an error has occurred. Please reload this page and try again.”
Moreover, multiple reports at
https://downdetector.com/status/amazon/
And on twitter and social media.

Happy to see news about the Amazon deforestation catastrophe on HN

Pretty funny, I was going to order a balance board that I had been eyeing for a bit. Went to Amazon but it was not loading the page correctly, so I went to company's website to look up specs and found out they had 10% off coupon & no taxes. So I purchased it from them.
Wondering how much Amazon outages can actually increase revenues for smaller companies.

AWS us-east-1 had issues last Thursday also

For me (central Europe) it was down about half an hour. I can't remember the Amazon store website being down that long before. Curious to see what caused this.

First noticed it when it had vertical text alignment on the product pages a few hours ago across all browsers.

Still down here in western US. Some product pages don't even show that error; they're just empty.

It is strange that there is no statement from Amazon, yet. Or did I miss it?

I just recently published a project and had been mulling over whether I should move it to AWS or keep hosting it on the server in my basement...
Seems like I made the right choice!
In all seriousness, I don't think I'd rely on a single provider for anything these days, unless I really don't care when it goes down. That's pretty easy and cheap to do with most things, but I'm not quite sure how to approach a backup database in an economical way.
