Issue summary:
On May 11, 2021 around 10:56 a.m. to 11:41 a.m. PDT, some users were unable to connect entirely or experienced degraded performance, such as channel history failing to load. Some apps making API requests may have also encountered failures, such as messages failing to send in Slack.

A hardware issue caused a problem for some of our infrastructure. The automated process that should've resolved this encountered a bug, which prevented a quick resolution. We manually replaced the failed hardware to resolve the trouble.

Note: We've updated the title to reflect the trouble affected users may have encountered. On the side of this page, we've also added additional services that may have been impacted.

Issue summary:
On May 11, 2021 around 6:52 a.m. to 11:03 p.m. PDT, some users were unable to manage installed apps on the Slack App Directory.

Upon investigation, we found that an upgrade of an underlying library caused a component used on the App Directory page to receive input it wasn't expecting, resulting in the app management page failing to load.

We deployed a fix which resolved the issue for all affected customers.

7:42 AM PST

This issue has been resolved. Customers should no longer have any trouble managing apps on the App Directory.

11:28 PM PST

Some users may be unable to install, uninstall or manage apps on the App Directory. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

We're working on it and will be back with an update soon.
