Amazon Web Services (AWS) had a bad day. That's how the boss of another big US tech firm Cloudflare put it – probably feeling very relieved that Monday's outage, hitting over 1,000 companies and affecting millions of internet users, had nothing to do with him.

The 15-hour disruption to Amazon Web Services, a cloud-based computing service, on Monday shook internet users around the world, disrupting everything from travel to financial transactions — and underscoring the fragility of a system reliant on only a handful of tech giants.

Perhaps one of the most avoidable breakdowns came via people’s beds. The reliance on the Internet for smart bed products from Eight Sleep resulted in people being awoken by beds locked into inclined positions and sweltering temperatures.

Amazon Web Services is recovering after an outage that disrupted Facebook, Snapchat, Fortnite, Coinbase and other major platforms, once again illustrating the internet’s heavy reliance on the cloud giant and a lack of redundancy in online services.

Some Eight Sleep mattress users had a rude awakening after the Amazon Web Services outage, with reports of beds stuck upright and haywire temperatures.

Some owners of the Eight Sleep brand smart beds really lost some sleep over the Amazon Web Services outage on Monday. The outage affected internet platforms such as Roblox, Reddit, Amazon and thousands more, leaving people unable to work and access websites. But one of the more unusual effects of the outage involved the fancy bed accessories.

A Domain Name System error that originated from Amazon's largest and oldest data center took down major sites Monday. The outage has been resolved.

At about 4:30PM ET on October 20, things seemed to be returning back to normal. Apps like Venmo and Lyft, which were either slow to respond or completely nonresponsive before, were appearing to behave smoothly.
