Auth is down too, but no report yet.

https://downdetector.com/ shows many major services down. This is wide spread.

Yeah - also seeing an outage on our application at the moment. 503 errors for us related to visibility checks.

Before the GCP Console stopped loading, it looks like they were pushing an update to all my nodes in kubernetes engine

Not good. production mobile app is impacted. Firestore database is down. Need to switch to AWS moving ahead.

Auth down for sure. No sign of recovery yet. Can access dashboard (apart from auth) though.

Seeing the same. Nobody can log into my app / various errors in GCP/Firebase admin.

GCP back to service, auth & firestore & storage seems to be working fine.

looks like auth is down for a lot of services, replit, lovable, macaly, claude, etc.

This is the first time I heard Firebase is down. Google is usually reliable.

How is HN working? Don't you guys use Firebase in prod?
maxbond 1 days ago [-]
(No affiliation, just what I've picked up.)

HN doesn't depend on Firebase, the HN API does but HN isn't built on top of it (and presumably the API is down). HN is a monolith which uses a disk as it's database, it goes down sometimes when eg the disk fails, and it can't scale so under heavy load it starts failing requests, but it's about as robust to cloud outages as it's possible to be.

Fun fact: HN was down once because both the disks failed at 40000 hours. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32026606

It's amazing that it's almost never down, unless it's especially obscure things like this.
