The error seems to be specifically around App Engine apps accessing Google APIs. I'd guess that this is a failure regarding fetching credentials, like what's described at https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/google....

Yes, the outage detail page mentions auth issues in its current summary: https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/appengine/15025

At least Google admits they were down. When AWS goes down, the best you can hope for is a little "i" next to one of the green checks 6 hours after the outage is over.

I'm curious how widespread it is. My app engine app is working fine, and I don't see any errors in the logs.

They estimate 2-5%

"""

We’re investigating elevated error rates for some Google Cloud Platform users. We believe these errors are affecting between 2-5 percent of Google App Engine (GAE) applications. We are working directly with the customers who are affected to restore full operation in their application as quickly as possible, and apologize for any inconvenience. We will provide another status update by 2015-12-08 12:30 US/Pacific with current details. """

We are affected. All our GCS reads/writes.

We're affected. All Cloud Storage reads/writes are down for 14 hours now :(

Edit: It's back up now.

14 hours?! Are you able to do anything within what they provide? Can you access your data in some way to move it elsewhere or something like that?

But wow... I thought 15 minutes would be a huge downtime for a service provided by Google.

Likewise--our recommendation engine (https://recent.io) runs on App Engine and we weren't affected, as far as I can tell.

Outages are not effecting my Go Apps on the East or Central servers.

I guess Snapchat has finally brought App Engine to its knees.
