Slack apologized for the continued trouble, and by 9: 35 a.m. said it was seeing improvements with most services that were affected earlier, while the issues with file uploads are ongoing. The Epic Games Store is affected by service services outages, which are currently impacting logins, library, purchases, etc. The Fortnite provider told customers they were monitoring the situation and they will update you when the issue is resolved.

Asana reported a major downtime early Wednesday morning but said just before 9 a.m. that all issues had been resolved, and all customers should be able to access Asana again. AWS, a leading provider of cloud infrastructure technology for all kinds of businesses, big and small, was hit by a major outage on December 7 and another on December 15.
