Firebase appears to be down for production services. Firebase console shows errors for existing projects.

They finally updated their status page confirming: https://status.firebase.google.com/
https://downdetector.com/ shows many major services down. This is wide spread.
Chrome Remote Desktop was down for me this morning but they don’t have a status page beyond GCP.
This is the first time I heard Firebase is down. Google is usually reliable.
Same here, our freeguessr.com is impacted as well, all projects
(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.
Yes, production is impacted. Firebase, GCP and Meet is down
visibility check issue... firebase auth totally crashing in production
GCP is down https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44260810
