    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.
