Firebase Hosting is down for all sites my company has deployed. We have a uptime alert that shows that the sites are unreachable worldwide.

Its even more frustrating to find this by searching on HN/Twitter instead of Firebase dashboard [1]. Why do they even this dashboard?

They just updated to include "We've received a report of an issue with Firebase Hosting." a moment ago

That dashboard is a total sham. I've had multiple users report downtime for my firebase hosted products all at the same time while the dashboard shows all green. This isn't an isolated instance. Whenever I contact support, their response is of the "works on my machine" form and they ignore the incident report.

The report from this morning is incorrect as well. We had downtime beginning 7:36AM PST. I'm completely convinced that the dashboard is approached from a marketing rather than engineering perspective (ie. they significantly under-report downtime so that potential users checking it out will not see outages).

Yes, all our company sites (staging, prod) are down in the US.

Seeing chatter on Twitter about it being down in the EU as well.

as of 11:08am ET we're almost back up to 100% up on all our sites. Some are loading slowly but they are loading
