How GCPDown works
GCPDown is an independent, real-time monitor for Google Cloud — built to be the fastest, most transparent answer to “is GCP down right now?” for developers and cloud teams.
Authoritative source
Status is sourced from the official Google Cloud Service Health dashboard — the same source Google publishes.
Continuously polled
We poll continuously and refresh the live status, world map, and incidents every ~20 seconds.
Verifiable
Every incident carries its GCP incident number and links back to the official source for verification.
Built for developers
Region/zone-level detail, workload tags, and resilience guidance aimed at developers, SREs, and startups.
Status definitions
Operational
No known issues; operating normally.
Maintenance
Planned maintenance in progress.
Degraded
Reduced performance or partial impact.
Major Outage
Significant, widespread impact to the service.
Region & zone scoping
Google Cloud is regional and zonal by design. We surface the exact regions and zones an incident affects so you can tell whether your workloads are impacted — an issue in europe-west1 usually doesn’t touch your us-central1 stack. See the live world map and full incident history.
Independence & limitations
- • GCPDown is independent and not affiliated with Google or Google Cloud.
- • Incident history accumulates from when monitoring began; the dashboard exposes current and recent events.
- • Detection depends on Google publishing to the Service Health dashboard; there may be a short delay between impact and publication.
- • For SLA credits and official confirmation, always consult the Google Cloud Console and your support channels.
