Amazon has not made a comment on the outage and the reasons behind the disruption of the website remains unknown at the moment.

Amazon is a tech giant that not only handles a large volume of ecommerce transactions all over the world but also manages a multitude of websites with high traffic. While this time, the issue was limited to Amazon’s retail website, the internet economy is largely dependent on it for smooth functioning. In December 2021, AWS faced a massive outage that not only massively disrupted Amazon’s cloud services but also affected the functionality of multiple of its clients. The outage impacted a large part of the internet.
