Ask HN: Is Firebase Down?
Firebase appears to be down for production services. Firebase console shows errors for existing projects.

Chrome Remote Desktop was down for me this morning but they don’t have a status page beyond GCP.
How is HN working? Don't you guys use Firebase in prod?
(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.

Artifact registry still down for image push
Seems like an outage accross many Google products.
Seeing various issues with GCP right now.
Yeah - also seeing an outage on our application at the moment. 503 errors for us related to visibility checks.
503 errors for us. Starting 10 min ago
Seeing the same. Nobody can log into my app / various errors in GCP/Firebase admin.
Before the GCP Console stopped loading, it looks like they were pushing an update to all my nodes in kubernetes engine
Yep, seeing SSO and auth errors from firebase.
Everything is on fire!
Bigquery is down, as is my GCP status page.
GCP and Firebase don't work
visibility check issue... firebase auth totally crashing in production
looks like auth is down for a lot of services, replit, lovable, macaly, claude, etc.
yes, it is clearly down. i've filed a ticket. no response so far
same, got 503 for all projects
Looking forward to the post mortem
Not good. production mobile app is impacted. Firestore database is down. Need to switch to AWS moving ahead.
Same here, our freeguessr.com is impacted as well, all projects
Yep, it's down for our company's MIS as well.
Impacted also in production.
This is the first time I heard Firebase is down. Google is usually reliable.
They finally updated their status page confirming:
https://status.firebase.google.com/
Auth is down too, but no report yet.
Yes, production is impacted. Firebase, GCP and Meet is down

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

Maybe a deploy from an AI...
Login to our mobile app appears to be working now.
GCP back to service, auth & firestore & storage seems to be working fine.
Looks like it's coming back
Some of our services started to recover
https://downdetector.com/ shows many major services down. This is wide spread.
