Yes Firebase auth is down and affecting many apps, on Discord and Slack groups tons of others are corroborating. A bit disappointing that there is no post on the status page for nearly 30 mins: https://status.firebase.google.com/

It just updated. Maybe affected by their own outage!

Just proves how shady the status page and sla stuff is

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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Because there are contracts related to uptime :)

Those contracts will be monitoring their service availability on their own. If Google can't be honest you can bet your bottom dollar the companies paying for that SLA are going to hold them accountable if they report the outage properly or not.

The real point of SLAs is to give you a reason to break contracts. If a vendor doesn't meet their contractual promises, that gives you a lot of room to get out contracts

Twitch was broken too: https://status.twitch.com/incidents/b79nyp1yhxql EDIT: Updated link to point to the specific incident.

Is Amazon running Twitch on Google Cloud (at least partially)?

Smells like BGP since there are services people claim have nothing to do with GCP being affected. OpenRouter is down, Lovable is down, etc.

npm as well

Initially attributed the unresponsiveness of `npm install` to npm (the CLI tool) in general. Tried using bun to install dependencies, saw the same result -- but with actual logs instead of a vague spinner -- and decided to check Hacker News.

Getting 504 errors on anything from registry.npmjs.org that isn't cached on my machine.

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

Please, won't somebody think of the KPIs.

Our GCP workloads are unavailable across several US regions. The GCP console is intermittently unavailable for most pages.

Crossing my fingers for a quick resolution.

Because they have unrealistic targets so they make up fake uptime numbers. 99.999% would mean not even having an hour of downtime in 10 years.

I remember reddit being down for like a whole day or so and they claimed 99.5% in that month.
