Last week I set up a load balancer to automatically forward http to https for a particular application. That part went fine. What didn't is that we use Slack's slash commands extensively to interact with the application, and I forgot I'd set those up before I'd even gotten an SSL cert. Slack does not like getting a 301 response. They were all broken for hours for our people in Europe before I woke up and figured out what had happened.
