The outage began early Monday morning, when AWS reported a surge in “error rates and latencies” affecting multiple regions, leaving many workplace tools, including Asana, Canva, Slack, and Ring, temporarily offline. While Amazon later confirmed that the issue had been mitigated, users continued to experience sporadic interruptions throughout the day.
