this sounds very complicated lol

  No, not really. If your calls time out, ping the status server. Done. It sounds more like laziness than complication to me. But that typifies Slack dev culture—“just use duct tape”

    And that's exactly how you DDOS your status server.

      Why can't they put a status.json file on S3/CloudFront/R2/wherever? And in an absolute worst-case infra collapse, someone there could manually edit/upload a new one...

      Put a CDN in front of the status server. If that overwhelms your CDN then add some exponential back off to the mix.

  Initial setup is not much different than creating a new website, rest is trivial in practice. Easier than said.
