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

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

GCP and Firebase don't work

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?

(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.

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