Ask HN: Is Alexa Down?

  obligatory "everything is fine": https://status.aws.amazon.com/ https://status.aws.amazon.com/

    Haha. That's hilarious because a little redditfu shows there's an outage. Edit: That's for AWS, not Alexa. I wish they had a dashboard for Amazon proper's major service components. I'm not sure how real or phony such a dashboard would be for internal/external political/business reasons.

    Alexa isn't AWS though.

Edit: Also there's currently a peak of user feedback at the following link, so it could be an outage https://downdetector.com/status/amazon-alexa/ https://downdetector.com/status/amazon-alexa/ Edit 2: Working again, for this moment. Edit 3: Broken again. ):

  It's been down for me for 2 hours.
  • errcorrectcode 5y ago
    Okay, so I'm not hallucinating it. This just in - it's up for me at this instant.

  Down for me in TX.

    Hey TX from ATX.
• ehayes 5y ago
  Can confirm, down for hours.
  • blondin 5y ago
    just curious as a non-user, is alexa being down for hours a big disruption to users?
    • ehayes 5y ago
      I have to get up and touch the wall to control my lights, which sucks. Seriously, though with small kids being able to do certain things without hands is pretty handy.
