Here is why Slack went down on Jan 4

<p>Slack has provided detailed about what happened on Jan 4, the first workday of 2021, when it went down. &quot; We observed signs that we were seeing widespread network degradation, which we escalated to AWS, our main cloud provider,&quot; Slack Said in a detailed statement. &quot; The mini-peak at 7 am PST -- combined with the underlying network problems -- led to saturation of our web tier.&quot; &nbsp;Which resulted in Slack becoming unavailable.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
