Microsoft’s employment-oriented online website LinkedIn crashed and was down a few hours ago. People who use the platform to look out for jobs were met with the message that stated, “We are currently experiencing an issue across the platform that may cause some API requests to take longer or fail unexpectedly. We are investigating the issue and working on a resolution”.
Some members may be experiencing an issue with accessing LinkedIn on mobile and desktop. We’re working on this as we speak and will provide updates as we have them. Thanks for your patience!

The issue is resolved and LinkedIn is back on track now, they said that they are currently investigating the matter and are looking into what went wrong.
Pardon the interruption everyone. We're back on track now. Unconfirmed reports indicate it might have been Agatha all along. 🎶

Someone, somewhere at @LinkedIn now:
"WELL FUCK, WE ACCIDENTALLY DEPLOYED TO PRODUCTION"
Speaking of, question to the @LinkedInEng team, is @ApachePinot in any way connected to the stability (or lack of stability) of LinkedIn in situations like this?#LinkedInDown pic.twitter.com/CoS4dF8KPS
