“Perplexity is down right now,” Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said on X. “The root cause is an AWS issue. We’re working on resolving it.”

What he should have said, IMHO, is "The root cause is that Perplexity fully depends on AWS."

I wonder if they're actually working on resolving that, or that they're just waiting for AWS to come back up.

Damn, this is really bad.

Looking forward to the postmortem.
