Yep, I can no longer see my Cloud SQL database - it's as if I've never created one at all. Really hoping this is just an issue displaying it and that Google hasn't punted my infrastructure and backups.

Praying isn't working. Now, I'll try sobbing :(

GCP has been down since 11:50am and they acked it 35 mins later. They're great at leaving their customers in the dark.

Not much different from AWS, from what I've heard.

Definitely the case. Neither are super great at this. One issue is that issues that may 100% impact individual clients may only impact a vanishingly small amount of their overall service load. That mismatch between customer and provider experience is one of the ugly aspects of public cloud providers.

Cloud status dashboards seem to be hosted on the same cloud, which doesn't say much about redundancy.

Anyone using both AWS and GCP that can form an opinion on availability of both? As a GCP customer I am not very happy with theirs.

Obviously we don't know what the extent of the issue is yet, but afaik there has never been an AWS incident that has affected multiple regions where an application had been designed to use them (like using region specific S3 endpoints). GCP and Azure have had issues in multiple regions that would have affected applications designed for multi-region.

> like using region specific S3 endpoints

AWS had the S3 incident affecting all of us-east-1: “Other AWS services in the US-EAST-1 Region that rely on S3 for storage, including the S3 console, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) new instance launches, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes (when data was needed from a S3 snapshot), and AWS Lambda were also impacted while the S3 APIs were unavailable.”
