"we did not have the monitoring or controls to prevent our anti-fraud from hard killing 3% of workloads, including many instances of pg" Oof.
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.
They must’ve upgraded them to Gemini 3.5 by now.

Perhaps you don't notice GCP outages because so few companies rely on them?
> Perhaps you don't notice GCP outages because so few companies rely on them? GCP is the world's third largest cloud provider, and has around half of AWS' market share. Claiming no one uses it reads like Yogi Berra's "no one goes there anymore, it's too crowded".
Everyone is eager to point a finger at Google, but I've been a user of Railway for a while now, and I've seen enough nonsense to want to hear what GCP has to say about this before drawing any conclusions. Let's just say Railway has had problems like this before, and the way their team handles them does not inspire any confidence. Regardless of how it happened, for me, this is the straw that broke the camel's back.
Two years ago I needed their support and they were so toxic that I just moved to vercel and told them to f off. But I wanted something similar for other services and then I found coolify. There’s absolutely no reason to use railway when you can use coolify.

I got details I shouldn't have. I can confidently say this one's 100% on Google, and I will be disappointed if Railway is unable to share more. There is literally nothing they could have done to prevent this aside from avoiding GCP entirely.
So I will hold my judgement until this has been disected a bit more

On the other hand i can’t remember when there was a serious outage on GCP, unlike AWS/Azure who seem to go down catastrophically a couple of times per year.
I've been in AWS for almost twenty years at this point. It's been a long time since I've seen a global outage of the data plane on anything. The control plane, especially the US-east-1 services? Yes - but if you're off of east-1, your outages are measured in missile strikes, not botched deployments.

Each of these were massive outages impacting very large services across the web.

This is an excellent closing statement.

I saw your youtube video, and while I am generally a fan of the small guy against big corps, this was a bit much with all the "I am so afraid to say something but I have to" talk. So I will hold my judgement until this has been disected a bit more

Couldn't find it on yt.
Either way, I agree with blensor here, there's no new info on the railway incident itself but mostly about google's direction towards antigravity.
About the author of the video mentioning that he's scared, unfortunately, that has always been the case with Journalism/columnists etc, speaking ill of the platform which you use to sell your wares tends to backfire. Wish him all the luck
