Google OAuth Is Failing with 500 Error Code

Disclosure: Former Googler<p>I didn&#x27;t think I would laugh that hard coming in here and reading these comments, but here we are. I can virtually guarantee that the following things are not the root of the problem:<p>* Lack of compute&#x2F;networking&#x2F;storage<p>* Incompetence of employees<p>* Back to school traffic spikes<p>* Just about anything else here<p>My $0.02. these are almost always due to bad roll outs, usually configuration changes. But I&#x27;ve been wrong countless times before!

Google often has a outage or two around this time of the year when all the US schools come back and millions of students log in at the same time.

Just as I was implementing and testing high-priority Google SSO changes at work... it goes down :-)

It sure feels like there have been quite a few big outages this summer (Google in particular). I wonder if they are getting sloppy or this is just bad luck?

I can&#x27;t login to my business gmail account using Google Chrome, but I can login successfully using Internet Explorer and Firefox. Duh. :-)

I like the majority of GCP products I work with, but judging by the amount of issues in the past year, GCP feels amateurish compared to AWS, which we continue to user in order to host most mission critical operations.<p>I cant access any of my Airflow clusters atm. :&#x2F;

Login from incognito works for me so I assumed one of my extensions was causing an issue somehow and started disabling them. I&#x27;m sorry I doubted you, extensions.

My users are reporting that it&#x27;s back up, or at least intermittently working now.

When you use Google OAuth, you give Google the power to turn you off. Think about it.

Googler not on Cloud team, but using Google Cloud Platform for an internal project. I&#x27;ve encountered my share of bugs and other flaws while using this platform. I think all these platforms are just too damn complex and brittle. It&#x27;s easy for even a smart SWE or SRE to overlook one little thing that will bring down a bigger part of system.

Is this just my perception or is GCP really down a lot this year?
