Slack Is Down
- buro9 3y agoYes, looks like it's their Auth system that is down, so this is likely system-wide for them. I also just got the refreshed Slack UI moments before the outage, these things may or may not be related.
- illogicalabc 3y agoLooks like a system-wide outage, including helpdesk: https://slack.com/help/articles/205138367-Troubleshoot-connection-issues https://slack.com/help/articles/205138367-Troubleshoot-conne... Status page is not updated: https://status.slack.com https://status.slack.com Might be related: https://fortune.com/2023/10/05/slack-employees-one-week-off-internal-training-ranger-status-salesforce-trailhead/ https://fortune.com/2023/10/05/slack-employees-one-week-off-...
- EmilStenstrom 3y agohttps://slack.com/ https://slack.com/ is down too. Someone is having a terrible day...
- naktinis 3y agoWill be interesting to see how long it takes them to update the status page. I will use this comment as a timestamp.
- naktinis 3y agoIt was updated just now with a message saying "Users are having trouble connecting to Slack". So about 15 minutes since the comment above. However, I think the first reports started a bit earlier, so maybe 30 minutes is a better estimate.
- spoiler 3y agoSeems to be running fine for me (accessing from London)
- nathancahill 3y agoWorking from Scotland as well.
- ecmascript 3y agodoesn't work from sweden
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- starefossen 3y agoStarted working again for me (Norway)
- ikt 3y agoyep ok for australia
- slamus 3y agoworking from France and UK
- Amfy 3y agoSeems fine via the client. Down via browser though.
- beAbU 3y agoClient for me is down. Even their homepage. When I visit the homepage on a guest browser session though it seems to work fine.
- naktinis 3y agoClient down for me. Can't send messages. Same for my colleague in another country.
- vesinisa 3y agoI can access it successfully via Google Chrome. The native client and Firefox are broken. For a colleague it works all the way. Sounds like a DNS issue.
- dartf 3y agoFor me client was completely dead, works now
- asomethings 3y agoSeems like DNS related issue? My client's not working but my colleagues are fine.
- asomethings 3y agoIt's up again
- dig1 3y agoYet their status page says that everything is fine... This says enough about how these status pages are unusable these days.
- agilob 3y agoHackerNews is the status page for everything. I only came here now to check if Slack is down.
- jinen83 3y agoSome people in our company are still able to have huddles and send messages while some cant. Maybe partial outage?
- steve1977 3y agoThey‘re probably in their Salesforce training already, should be up again in a week ;)
- nathancahill 3y agoProductivity skyrockets
- andrelaszlo 3y agoOh I forgot they are Salesforce now. We had to argue with Heroku, sometimes for weeks, before they even acknowledged they had hour-long outages that affected us. I hope Slack doesn't go the same way.
- RektBoy 3y agoI'm curious if somebody from Slack could comment how much the acquisition changed Slack technologies. I have first hand info from Avast - Norton merger and turning into corporation which doesn't value good RE talents was ridiculous and I've worked in corporate before, but this was just another level. Middle management and up, their technical knowledge ended at turning PC on, hehe. Btw they forced everybody even devs/RE guys into switching from Slack to Teams. But still I have respect for original owners who build this AV company from 0. Too bad over the years it turned into this BS, where gathering and selling people's data is a normal thing for them. At least there are guys from ESET, which is where people really care about fighting malware.
- steve1977 3y agoOff topic, but how would you compare ESET and Bitdefender? (Kaspersky is kinda out of scope at least at the moment)
- smcleod 3y agoI really hope they incur some sort of data corruption that deletes the new UI code base while it’s down.
- ikt 3y agonah it's perfect for a lot of people who struggle to keep up with chats, just go to activity and you can find the chat you were just in instead of having to scroll through tons of channels
- smcleod 3y agoNah, it’s terrible for a lot of people who struggle with all the workspaces and needless amount of clicks to get anything done.
- RedShift1 3y ago
- rollulus 3y agoI find this so infuriating that the standard flow is: 1. Notice issue; 2. Check provider status page which says all fine: 3. Have to go to HN to find the info that should’ve been on their status page.
- inductive_magic 3y agoLow hanging fruit: HN-based LLM-powered status page for *
- latexr 3y agoYou don’t need an LLM for that. Grab the feed and filter for post titles with “Ask HN”, “is”, and “down”. Or use one of the myriad websites which tracks this stuff, such as https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
- throwaway02472 3y agoI'm not sure if the "downforeveryoneorjustme" would detect this issue. In my case, only the desktop app failed. I was still able to use the web version
- latexr 3y ago> I'm not sure if the "downforeveryoneorjustme" would detect this issue. It would (and did) because it’s not just a service check, it also allows for users to report issues. Scroll down on the page. https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/slack https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/slack
- joshspankit 3y agoThe underlying problem seems to be that “status pages” are now marketing and branding touchpoints instead of sources of information.
- ta1243 3y agoMeanwhile my raspberry pi has a sign saying "4 slack outages since last reboot"
- fortyseven 3y agoBack up for the moment: US, east coast.
- world2vec 3y agoIt seems totally fine to me (London), maybe it's just down on the browser?
- RedShift1 3y agoStatus page: Everything's fine. Morgan Freeman: Everything was, in fact, not fine.
- starefossen 3y agoStatus page is updated with ongoing incident: https://status.slack.com/2023-10/ad8f0e62516e8812 https://status.slack.com/2023-10/ad8f0e62516e8812
- ricardobeat 3y agoIt’s not the most reassuring to see deflecting language: “Users are having trouble connecting” “Some customers are encountering various errors” They know exactly what’s going on, at least superficially via usage metrics, and should be able to quantify it.
- jwestbury 3y agoThis is what happens when performance reviews are tied to outages. I spent over five years at AWS, and even internally we treated the AWS status page as a running joke -- a bunch of us used an extension which just set the level of every outage to one higher than had been posted (i.e., green i/blue diamond was yellow, yellow was red). The problem is, organisational leaders have performance reviews (and bonuses) tied to service health, and they'll avoid declaring outages to avoid looking bad.
