Comment on Ask HN: Is Slack Down?

Comments

Whichever Salesforce employee has their bonus tied to this being declared an incident and not an outage; fuck you.

This has affected critical, operational processes which YOUR sales and marketing teams use in Case Studies[0][1][2] and documentation[3][4].

I would not recommend basing your core business capabilities around an external chat app with no redundancy. Outages happen and always will.

If your operations rely on a slack workflow, it sounds like it’s a case of wrong tool for the job.
