Getting a lot of errors for Claude Sonnet 4 (Cursor) and Gemini Pro. Nooooo I'm going to have to use my brain again and write 100% of my code like a caveman from December 2024.

I was in the middle of testing Cloud Storage file uploads, so I guess this is a good time to go for a walk.

The status page is green, but there are outages reported: https://downdetector.com/status/google-cloud/

Why can't companies be honest with being down. It helps us all out so we don't spend an hour internalizing. We are truly in gods hands. $ prod Fetching cluster endpoint and auth data. ERROR: (gcloud.container.clusters.get-credentials) ResponseError: code=503, message=Visibility check was unavailable. Please retry the request and contact support if the problem persists

Because a lot of the time, not everyone is impacted, as the systems are designed to contain the "blast radius" of failures using techniques such as cellular architecture and [shuffle sharding](https://aws.amazon.com/builders-library/workload-isolation-u...). So sometimes a service is completely down for some customers and fully unaffected for other customers.

For us Cloud SQL instances are toast but App Engine Standard instances are still serving requests. Google Cloud console is borked too, mostly just erroring out.
