Maybe memorising algorithms from a textbook does not translate to great system engineering and SRE skills? Who would have thought.

I'm glad you have a good handle on the data about the predictive power Google interviews have about the individuals. Can you share the data?

It’s random. You might as well read chicken entrails; at least then there’d be less racial and gender bias in the process.

They're a bleeding cloud provider. I think they can temporarily scale up a bit.

Temporarily build a data center? Temporarily shut down other people's services to favor their own?

I guess you're not familiar with how cloud services work. There's (generally) plenty of excess capacity.

It's the (generally) that's the issue here, now isn't it?

I like the majority of GCP products I work with, but judging by the amount of issues in the past year, GCP feels amateurish compared to AWS, which we continue to user in order to host most mission critical operations. I cant access any of my Airflow clusters atm. :/

To whoever downvoted me. Censoring the fact customers have issues, doesn't make the product better.

Disclosure: Former Googler I didn't think I would laugh that hard coming in here and reading these comments, but here we are. I can virtually guarantee that the following things are not the root of the problem: * Lack of compute/networking/storage * Incompetence of employees * Back to school traffic spikes * Just about anything else here My $0.02. these are almost always due to bad roll outs, usually configuration ch…

"these are almost always due to bad roll outs, usually configuration changes." Some would consider that falling under #2. (Not me though)

Given that "87.623% of all outages are caused by changes" is generally accepted wisdom of running large scale services, I would tend to disagree with those people. Incompetence: no. Opportunity for improvement: yes.

Edit: made-up number has large margin of error

I didn't see any notifications that GCP was out of capacity. Did I miss one?

Doubtful. I put that in since absolute statements are always dangerous. I'd say at any given time, there's an excess of 20-50%. There's virtually no chance they were lacking capacity.

My take is that many people are out on vacation during the summer months and sometimes things break (or break harder than usual) when certain knowledgeable people aren't available.

Also, summer interns. A friend who worked at FB said outages there go up markedly when interns start pushing to prod.

You really think interns are allowed to push code to production at FB?
