Even Slack Enterprise is affected. So much about "this runs on your own infrastructure".
Slack Enterprise has never run on your own infrastructure.

#32Wish there was a JIRA outage at my work.

#33You know how much of the community uses one messaging system when 15 minutes after it going down, it has over 40 points on the front page!
This says a lot about how it's a single point of failure in modern company comms.
It's even worrying to think about how some users probably have production-dependent (dare I postulate it) workflows in Slack that get crippled by its outage...
ITT: Chat about decentralisation that will ultimately lead to no action.*
*Because we've had this discussion so many times before...

#34Maybe 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.

#35What backup methods of communication are distributed teams using when Slack goes down?
Email, if it's actually important. Then if emergency, you can always hop on IRC, Skype, Messages/SMS, etc.

Luckily most of my active communities are on Discord nowadays. It works much faster and even has a dark theme by default.

#38Spare a thought for the chatops crowd who may be blissfully unaware that their own infrastructure is down

It's not so much decentralization as chaos engineering.
Building the program with withstand failure after failure, of things in and out, of your control. Seems like Slack needs some chaos engineers...

It's lovely how in Slack.app if you want dark theme, you have to modify the internet javascript files...
