🚨 How Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) detected the #SlackOutage caused by AWS issues 🚨
At 5:31 AM EDT on October 20th, Slack users globally faced disruptions due to an #AWS outage. Zscaler Digital Experience (#ZDX) enabled teams to quickly identify critical issues like latency spikes and service unavailability, empowering #IT leaders to respond effectively.
The highlights:
✅ Latency spike: ZDX recorded Page Fetch Times of 29,000 ms (29 seconds), far beyond the normal <5 ms, indicating Slack’s infrastructure was struggling to process user requests.
✅ 503 errors: ZDX flagged critical Service Unavailable errors across locations, confirming backend server failures tied to AWS issues.
✅ Global visibility: Monitoring centers in Zurich, Chicago, Amsterdam, Washington DC, Frankfurt, and San Jose consistently showed increased fetch times and dropped availability.
⚙️ Why ZDX matters:
During #cloud outages, real-time diagnostics are crucial for minimizing disruptions. ZDX provides IT teams with actionable data—availability metrics, error tracking, and latency mapping—helping organizations stay proactive during global incidents.
This is the perfect opportunity to highlight our upcoming virtual launch, where we'll tackle challenges like this outage head-on.

The recent #SlackOutage was a wake up call to many organizations. Although fixed quickly, it demonstrates how issues with a #ThirdPartyVendor can impact a business.

#Cybersecurity
My 2 1/2 hour meeting with @mediaking was not impacted by the #SlackOutage because it was on @MicrosoftTeams
Also worth noting, because it was on #teams, I sat alone for 2 1/2 hours..... because it was on Microsoft Teams.
did DOGE cut everyone's Slack licenses?? #SlackOutage
Slack went down!
My manager was about to discuss something urgent that needed to be posted on social media.
I have no idea what it is going to be. Posting my feelings for now :')

I've found an article about how the throttle and loads to @SlackHQ contributed a major factor in the outage, what they did to triage the incident, and much more. Check it out! 👉https://t.co/4WZ6Ojm88N #softwaretesting #slackoutage #testguildnews
No matter how many years of experience you have in tech, if something is not working you end up restarting your laptop and the funny thing is it always works 😂🤭 #SlackOutage #slack
ThousandEyes can confirm that starting at ~6:25am PT some users experienced issues using the Slack app. During the incident, network paths connecting users to Slack frontend servers were clear, indicating the issue is likely related to the application backend. #slackoutage
Reminder for red teams.
Post slack going down is absolutely one of the best times to roll out your Slack credential phishing because all users care about is getting back to their slack messages.
Fire away.
Is Slack down? Meltdown in action? #WritingCommunity #writerscommunity #writers #slackdown #SlackOutage
7 Stages of separation from Slack:
1. Shock
2. Scrambling to see if it’s only you.
3. Anxiety
4. Research on Twitter & Google.
5. Going on alternative comms channels to have a laugh about it.
6. Acceptance
7. Waiting patiently & continuing your day. #SlackOutage #slackdown
