About AWS S3

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is the world's most widely used object storage platform, holding trillions of objects for static websites, data lakes, backup archives, and media pipelines. S3 serves as the origin for CloudFront distributions, the staging layer for data warehouses, and the default store for application assets. S3 outages or elevated 5xx error rates break file uploads, CDN delivery, and ETL pipelines simultaneously. Monitor live Amazon S3 status across all AWS regions and track S3 incident history here.

FAQ

Is AWS S3 down right now?

PulsAPI checks AWS S3 status continuously. The current status is shown at the top of this page and updates every 60 seconds from the official AWS S3 status page.

What should I do if my system is impacted by a AWS S3 outage?

If AWS S3 is down, report the issue above to inform the community, check the incident timeline for resolution updates from the AWS S3 team, and activate any graceful degradation your application supports while waiting for recovery.

How do I check AWS S3 uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks AWS S3 uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The 30-day uptime metric is shown in the sidebar on this page. Sign up for a free account to access the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline.

How fast does PulsAPI detect AWS S3 outages?

PulsAPI polls the AWS S3 official status page every 60 seconds and delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds from detection — faster than most engineers check manually.

Can I get alerts when AWS S3 goes down?

Yes. Sign up for PulsAPI and subscribe to AWS S3. You'll receive instant alerts via email (free), or Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks on paid plans — whenever AWS S3 status changes.

How do I report a AWS S3 issue to the community?

Click the "Report an issue" button at the top of this page. Select the issue type, severity, and optionally your region and a note. Community reports are anonymous and help other engineers detect outages before the official status page updates — which typically lags real incidents by 10 to 20 minutes.

Does PulsAPI track individual AWS S3 components?

Yes, where AWS S3 exposes component data. The components section above shows each tracked AWS S3 component and its current status. Component-level granularity lets you pinpoint exactly which part of AWS S3 is affected — not just a generic "service degraded" banner.

Is there a free way to monitor AWS S3?

Yes. PulsAPI's Starter plan includes up to 10 monitored services with email alerts and a 15-day free trial — no credit card required. You can monitor AWS S3 alongside up to 9 other services for free. Sign up at pulsapi.com/signup to get started.
