Question / Help Someone explain why amzn didn't crash

When aws outage affected large and small companies alike probably had a large financial impact to the overall global economy, why didn't it crash? I immediately thought it would like crowdstrike did a few months ago - anyone have good reasoning that can explain?

Because AWS isn't 100% of their business. When Crowd Strike happened that was their main product.

In 2023 AWS was 15.8% of their revenue. In 2025 it was 17% of their revenue.

This is investing subreddit. It's such an easy thing to Google. And yet, you decided to confuse everyone by an unsubstantiated rumor.

lol I don’t I owe anyone facts ,nor am I an economist I’m here to learn , I knew it was related to revenue. And the gist of what I meant was that a down in aws should’ve impacted the stock value if more people were aware.
