What caused Slack’s downtime during the new year?

I was using Slack not too long ago and stepped out to. On getting back, it’s all down and I have an idea of what the cause might be.

Judging by the time it all happened, I can say that it’s a traffic surge from the USA as a lot of companies have resumed work now and Slack is very much going to be less prepared due to possible server reduction to reduce cost during the holiday and the prime of Covid-19.

It will be coming online back very soon and it shouldn’t take too long now.

It’s live now.
