Incident

Users unable to sign in with SSO or SCIM. Multiple Slack features are experiencing issues.

Summary

From 12:02 AM PDT to 1:19 AM PDT on Sunday, November 3, 2024, some users experienced trouble logging into Slack with SSO, provisioning users with SCIM, received duplicated notifications, and had trouble triggering workflows.

The system responsible for the handling of database replications and routing traffic had unexpected failures due to a time-logic configuration change. As a result, requests involving these database replicas timed out, impacting all SCIM operations, SSO logins, notification handling, and workflow execution.

As an immediate fix, we manually processed these database replications, restoring full functionality to the affected services.

After verifying that requests were successfully serviced, we implemented a backend logic update to allow for future system changes to be handled automatically, reducing the likelihood of this reoccurring.
