Luckily (and I count my blessings often for this) our company was not affected by this outage. I can't even fathom the impact it would have on our productivity, communication and general ability to move forward with projects. It definitely does make you reconsider cloud providers for such an integral part of your business.

Quite simple if it's only one system you have to restore, not millions. To me that shows again that self hosting often beats cloud services. Yes, the vendor knows more about their own product, but delivering services at scale is so much more complex than a small on-prem instance that on prem usually shows higher resiliance. I had the same experience with self hosted Gitlab and Mattermost (as a Slack alternative).
