Issues sending messages and loading the Threads view

incident done Summary

On May 5, 2025 from 2:41 PM PDT until 10:31 PM PDT, users experienced issues affecting message sending and Threads functionality. The issues stemmed from a code change that incorrectly routed database queries to primary servers instead of replicas, causing instability in our database infrastructure.

The incident was automatically detected when our database management system encountered issues with its operations. Our engineering teams identified the root cause and implemented a fix by reverting the problematic code change. Service was fully restored after the code reversion.

We apologise for any disruption this may have caused.

Resolved

This is now resolved for all affected users and Slack should be running as normal once more.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked to fix this.

8:28 PM PST
