CNN Business | How a tiny bug spiraled into a massive outage that took down the internet

A massive AWS outage Monday that brought down some of the world’s most popular apps and services all started with a glitch.

The bug – which occurred when two automated systems were trying to update the same data simultaneously – snowballed into something significantly more serious that Amazon’s engineers scrambled to fix, the company said Thursday in a postmortem assessment.
