🧨 When Amazon Breaks the Internet

If AWS sneezes, we all catch a cold 🤧

Hey team,

On Monday, 30% of the internet tripped over its own cables.

Zoom was down. Seller Central was down. Orders plummeted 50% in just a few hours. And all of it traced back to one culprit: an AWS outage.

This week on Upside, Ali & Zamir break down what happened when Amazon (temporarily) broke the internet - and why it matters to anyone who sells online.

We’re joined by Danu Abeysuriya, founder & cybersecurity specialist, to unpack:
âš¡ What actually went wrong behind the scenes
📉 How Amazon sellers saw immediate fallout in sales
🧠 Why DNS - a 50-year-old piece of tech - can still bring down giants
🧰 And what smart operators can do to protect themselves next time

If AWS sneezes again, your Q4 shouldn’t catch the cold.
