Google’s cloud was suffering from global outages on Thursday, as were other cloud-based services.
Users on social media reported that several major internet services were experiencing disruptions due to Google cloud platforms.
“We are experiencing service issues with multiple GCP products,” a status page from Google Cloud showed, indicating that the outages began at 10:51 a.m. PT. “Our engineering team continues to investigate the issue.”
The Downdetector website showed over 13,000 reported incidents for Google Cloud at around 11:30 a.m. PT.
Google’s status page said the incident had caused problems for 13 of its cloud services, across the U.S., Europe and Asia. Other web services that appeared to suffer disruptions included Amazon’s Twitch, CoreWeave’s Weights and Biases, Elastic, GitLab, LangChain, Microsoft’s GitHub, Replit and Supabase.
Google Trends pointed to a spike in users searching “Firebase,” which is one of Google’s developer platforms for building and managing web and mobile apps.
Google didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
