On a tiring Monday, what will make you more frustrated is Slack was down. At 10.50 AM EDT, the popular collaboration platform, Slack went down. People from various parts of the world flooded Twitter with #SlackOutage and #SlackDown as the app faced performance issues and slow messaging problems.

Slack confirmed the outage on their status page. And, they ensured that they are aware of the issue and are currently resolving the unprecedented downtime. According to them, many of the users might be facing issues in accessing their workspaces completely.

Also, they might experience issues while sending and receiving messages and slow performance of the app. However, all the core factors were up. But, the only trouble remained the communication between users.

In addition to slow performance, some customers may also be running into trouble accessing their Slack channels entirely. We're digging into this and will be back with more updates soon. https://t.co/ZstseqpFlL

@SlackHQ How come everything is green even when the service is down 🙁 It was even down yesterday … that 99.999% availability should probably be lower now too. #slackdown #world_on_fire #the_winter_is_here pic.twitter.com/zCbC1zJ7HI
