There is never a good time for web servers to fail, but today is especially bad day.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced issues with its S3 storage service Tuesday morning that broke websites and services across the internet. The problems affected sites like Business Insider, Giphy, Quora, filesharing in Slack and image and video hosting at many publishing sites.
