Technical Summary:

On December 13th from 2:56pm PT until 4:57pm PT, we experienced an event that caused a significant increase in load on some of our databases. During this time, customers experienced slower-than-normal response times when searching members from their Admin pages.

To resolve the issue, we implemented a short-term fix to reduce the load on the impacted databases. Full functionality was restored by 4:57pm PT. We are currently scoping preventive measures to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future. If you continue to have issues, please reach out to us at feedback@slack.com.
