Amazon Web Services suffered an outage Wednesday that affected several applications and services that rely on Amazon’s cloud computing platform.

An update posted to the AWS Service Health Dashboard just before 10 a.m. PT detailed an issue with the Kinesis Data Streams API affecting the US-East-1 Region. Amazon Kinesis help companies process large amounts of real-time data including video, audio, application logs, and more. The problem “has also affected our ability to post updates to the Service Health Dashboard,” AWS said.

“Kinesis has been experiencing increased error rates this morning in our US-East-1 Region that’s impacted some other AWS services. We are working toward resolution,” an AWS spokesperson said in a statement.

Adobe, Roku, Twilio, Flickr, Autodesk, and others said they were impacted by the outage. The New York City’s MTA was also affected, causing problems with its subway website and app.

Update, Nov. 26: Amazon said Kinesis-related issues are fixed as of 4 a.m. PT. “We have identified the root cause of the Kinesis Data Streams event, and have completed immediate actions to prevent recurrence,” AWS said on its status page.
