Duolingo's services experienced disruption due to a major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage, impacting user access to the language-learning platform. The outage affected thousands of websites and services globally, including several prominent companies.
The issue originated from AWS, which is described as the world's most comprehensive cloud service, highlighting Duolingo's reliance on third-party infrastructure providers. This disruption can negatively impact user experience and potentially lead to temporary user attrition.
While AWS reported 'significant signs of recovery' hours after the incident, the event underscores the operational risks associated with cloud service dependencies. Duolingo, along with other affected platforms, worked to restore full functionality for its users.
