Google cloud also locked out a Korean Goverment Organization recently. The guy posted on GCP subreddit. Google really need to improve their support team. It's strange such a big corp can't even afford to have proper support team.
Railway say they are in touch with that support team.
Sorry, I have a hard time blaming Google for this, when Railway seems to be having increasing trouble keeping the platform stable. Something like this should NOT take down an ENTIRE service. There should be a backup when literally your business is about being the reliable backend. This just seems like poor planning to me.
I don't quite know what you mean. Do you really expect Railway to use a multi-cloud architecture to host all of their client's projects? I suspect that would lead to a lower availability, all things considered.
Or did they just mean that they’re not renting VPSs but only metal from the cloud provider?
In my mind I was so excited that there was another provider not just paying one of the hyperscalars but at a minimum colocating and owning more of their stack. https://blog.railway.com/p/heroku-walked-railway-run
TL;DR: putting all your eggs into one basket is bad, man.

They literally own their own data centers. That's whats surprising about this. They are lying to their customers when they say they operate their own data center because obviously they don't if everyone's apps are down with GCP blocking their account.

so....what are we switching to y'all? cloud-run ? ;P
Wait… railway runs on GCP? Didn’t they make a whole thing about not “building a cloud on top of another cloud?” Or did they just mean that they’re not renting VPSs but only metal from the cloud provider?
