Online food delivery platforms Zomato and Swiggy, along with several other online platforms, suffered a brief outage in India on Wednesday.
According to website outage monitor platform DownDetector, the Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers went down at the same time on Wednesday afternoon, indicating that the crash of AWS servers may have caused the brief outage. However, it could not be confirmed, IANS reported.
While 55 percent users reported problems with server connection at AWS, 38 percent had problems with AWS Console, according to DownDetector.
The US-based AWS was yet to react. Zomato and Swiggy said on Twitter that they were working on resolving the temporary glitch.
Both food delivery apps were back in service after nearly half an hour long outage. In 2020, the Indian online food delivery market was worth around $2.9 billion.
