    They finally updated their status page confirming: https://status.firebase.google.com/

    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.

    Chrome Remote Desktop was down for me this morning but they don’t have a status page beyond GCP.

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

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

    looks like auth is down for a lot of services, replit, lovable, macaly, claude, etc.
  • by plerpler on 6/12/25, 6:55 PM

    GCP back to service, auth & firestore & storage seems to be working fine.
  • by jerrygoyal on 6/12/25, 6:31 PM

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