What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

AWS AppSync is used through a signed-in AWS account, and from Syria neither signing in to an existing account nor creating a new one succeeded, so the service could not be reached.

Landing pageWorks

The AWS AppSync product page opened normally from a Syrian connection on desktop, with its Get started and Contact sales buttons available.

Sign-upFails

Trying to create a new AWS account from Syria ended on the AWS sign-up portal, which showed a Website Temporarily Unavailable page instead of the registration form.

Sign-inFails

Get started with AWS AppSync led to the AWS sign-in page, which opened from Syria, but signing in to an existing account from there did not succeed.
