Several hours after Downdetector.com started showing reports of outages, Amazon said many AWS services were fully recovered and marked "resolved."


AWS said “we are continuing to work to fully recover all services." Tuesday's impact stretching from transportation to financial services businesses underscores adoption of Amazon's younger Lambda service and the degree to which many of its cloud offerings are crucial to companies in the internet age.



According to research in the past year from the cloud company Datadog, more than half of organizations operating in the cloud use Lambda or rival services, known as "serverless" technology.


Outage reports on Downdetector fell to less than 800 after having crossed 12,000 earlier in the day.
