Looking at Downdetector it looks like Reddit and AWS started having problems simultaneously:

- corinroyal 4y agoDailyKos is down too, so I expect it's an AWS problem.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoI noticed Hacker News being slow at roughly the same time that Reddit went down, though that's probably a coincidence.
- mishac 4y agoOr a causal thing....reddit being down means that some number of people switch to hackernews to pass time.
- dabber 4y agodang commented on this in the GPT thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157344 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157344 >All: our poor server is smoking today* so I've had to reduce the page size of comments. There are already a thousand comments in this thread but if you want to read more than a few dozen you'll need to page through them by clicking the More link at the bottom. I apologize! >Also, if you're cool with read-only access, just log out and all will be fast again. >* yes, HN still runs on one core, at least the part that serves logged-in requests, and yes this will all get better someday...it kills me that this isn't done yet but one day you will all see
- elromulous 4y agoLikely because people who browse both sites are now more likely to browse hn. Edit: i.e. a form of cascading failure.
- ortusdux 4y agoAccording to reddit, it is an internal issue: https://www.redditstatus.com/ https://www.redditstatus.com/
- kredd 4y agoMy guess is cascading effect of failures (slower delivery of messages, some internal connection issues, probably degraded database and etc.) that caused a bigger problem that they're trying to fix. That, or DNS.
