Maybe unrelated, but my AWS-hosted websockets-using app had an outage starting at the same time. Also a third-party API provider we use for handling inbound phone calls. So this smells like a wider outage than just Slack.
- switch007 8y agoThat's interesting. More speculation: they haven't given any detail in 2 hours, perhaps if it's an upstream/3rd-party problem, they haven't been given any info.
- bgribble 8y agoI know it's not exactly scientific, but the front page of https://downdetector.com https://downdetector.com shows a number of services that have problem spikes starting anywhere from 3am US/Eastern to 9am US/Eastern and continuing through now (11:24 US/Eastern): Google Home, Fortnite, Exede, Level 3, New York Times, AWS. Maybe totally unrelated to each other, who knows.
- dawnerd 8y agoThat certainly does look suspicious there - especially level3.

- kohanz 8y agoI'm wondering the same thing. I chose this morning to soft-launch my side-project/startup and sent out the sign-up link to my e-mail list. Of course, it's AWS Cognito-based, was working yesterday, but failed for the new users. Great timing! Phone support said they are looking into some outages (even though the status page is all green).
- Maxion 8y agoTelegram was down too just half an hour before slack. Dunno if they run on aws?
- dijit 8y agoThey do, and GCP. I recall AWS/GCP public IPs getting banned in Russia when they were trying to block telegram.
- isostatic 8y agoWhen I was in Moscow a few weeks back, Slack wouldn't work. Exact same behaviour - it loaded up the gui, loaded up previous conversations, but then wouldn't work past there. Russia blocks a lot of AWS IPs, when I did a full VPN out to a server in Germany slack came good.
