Salesforce goes down during the companys Dreamforce event: What we know
Salesforce's signature software went down at the worst possible time, but it's fine now. Everything is fine.
During the Salesforce Dreamforce event on September 15, the company's namesake software experienced a brief outage around 3:50 a.m. ET, impacting enterprise software used for sales data and invoices. This outage, as reported by Quartz, was unexpected and inconvenient, occurring during the company's annual tech conference in San Francisco.
The problem, which DownDetector showed to be common among customers, was attributed to an external vendor issue affecting Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. While the fix for Chrome was released and resolved the issue, those using Microsoft Edge still faced intermittent freezes as the solution was not yet implemented. This three-hour downtime, despite occurring overnight in the United States, was fortunate for Salesforce as it was resolved before the majority of the country awoke.
