Amazon's website suffered a massive glitch during the worst time possible: the start of Prime Day, its largest shopping event of the year. And it lasted for hours.

As traffic funneled to Amazon.com Monday at 3 p.m. ET, the start of Prime Day, looking for deals, most users with were greeted with images of dogs and a screen that read "SORRY something is wrong on our end." Some users were unable to log into their accounts, while others were unable to use the search function on the website to browse items. Meanwhile, AWS had its own snags.
