Yeah - also seeing an outage on our application at the moment. 503 errors for us related to visibility checks.

Before the GCP Console stopped loading, it looks like they were pushing an update to all my nodes in kubernetes engine

Not good. production mobile app is impacted. Firestore database is down. Need to switch to AWS moving ahead.

Chrome Remote Desktop was down for me this morning but they don’t have a status page beyond GCP.

Seeing the same. Nobody can log into my app / various errors in GCP/Firebase admin.

Auth down for sure. No sign of recovery yet. Can access dashboard (apart from auth) though.

Looking forward to the post mortem

GCP and Firebase don't work

digest|8 months ago

looks like auth is down for a lot of services, replit, lovable, macaly, claude, etc.

GCP back to service, auth & firestore & storage seems to be working fine.

This is the first time I heard Firebase is down. Google is usually reliable.

Same here, our freeguessr.com is impacted as well, all projects

How is HN working? Don't you guys use Firebase in prod?

(No affiliation, just what I've picked up.)

HN doesn't depend on Firebase, the HN API does but HN isn't built on top of it (and presumably the API is down). HN is a monolith which uses a disk as it's database, it goes down sometimes when eg the disk fails, and it can't scale so under heavy load it starts failing requests, but it's about as robust to cloud outages as it's possible to be.
