Anyone able to buy amazon gift card today?

Amazon is down. Myntra voucher also having same issue.
Maybe their microservice for gift card purchase might have been down. The world would turn upside down (on the internet) if Amazon as an e-commerce store would go down 😂 I think they took off some load balancers to allocate them to Amazon US to handle black friday rush (Just a guess).

What's a load balancer?
In simple terms, it's a service to distribute internet traffic from overloading a single server, by distributing that traffic to multiple servers to ease loads on web servers serving internet traffic. The kind of "balancing" depends on the algorithm set up for load balancing and the number of servers you currently have to operate your application.
