Seems like it...

For me their status page: https://status.slack.com/ and slack itself is unavailable

Yes, including their status page.

So although it's the same domain, slack.com, the records still resolve which seems to rule out a DNS related issue. DNS is served by AWS Route53 in all cases and only by Route53 (which might or might not be a great idea considering what happened to Dyn late last year).

Slack.com and the API are hosted by EC2, status.slack.com points to Rackspace.

I wonder what happened to take both down.

Yes, It was down this morning but it should be up now.

Yes.

I switched to Microsoft Teams.

for me, yes

no

yes
