I use Expo intermediation for notifications, but with this Google context, I imagine that FCM is also suffering, is that possible?

Very likely. Firebase Auth is down for sure (though unreported yet), so most likely FCM too

"All locations except us-central1 have fully recovered. us-central1 is mostly recovered. We do not have an ETA for full recovery in us-central1."

An hour later and everything is a mess in central-1. They seemed to jump the gun on that one. Doesn't matter if some dinky service like "AutoML Vision" is working, if GCS isn't, then they shouldn't post an optimistic message.

Isn't RCS basically just instant messaging? I don't know why it's surprising that it would be down.

I'm not sure any single company could have an outage that would take out SMS globally, but RCS is presumably more centralized.

People liked to be utterly pissed at Apple for not supporting RCS. But there were reasons

Was just about to do a demo, but Google Meet was down. Tried to use Jitsi as a fallback, but couldn't log in because Firebase was down too. Ended up using a Slack Huddle, lol.

mapbox maps seemed to be down for a few minutes about an hour ago. I wonder if it is related.

Any chance this is the root being that so many different services are effected? https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/issues/17433

I doubt gcloud would be affected by an aws-specific cni. Unless maybe enough AWS users have a GCP backup environment that they flipped on all at once, but it seems unlikely

Why even have a status page? Someone reported that their org of >100,000 users can't use Google Meet. If corps aren't going to update their status page, might as well just not have one. https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/ https://status.cloud.google.com/index.html Edit: The GCP status page got updated <1 minute after I posted this, showing affected services are Cloud Data Fusion, Cloud Memorystore, Cloud She…

I have zero faith in status pages. It's easier and more reliable to just check twitter. Heroku was down for _hours_ the other day before there was any mention of an incident - meanwhile there were hundreds of comments across twitter, hn, reddit etc.

anecdotally, the status pages have been taken away from engineering and are run by customer support and marketing

Seems like a wider issue at Google than just GCP, the Sheets and Chat APIs are also returning similar "Visibility check was unavailable" errors.

Presumably many Google products run on GCP
